Where will Ontario's 500 new government-funded EV chargers be placed? We now know the answer.

The Ontario government has begun installing a province-wide network of electric vehicle charging stations as part of the $325 million Green Investment Fund it announced in 2015.

By the end of March 2017, the charging stations will be operational at 250 locations across Ontario as part of a public-private partnership. The province is working with 27 other organizations and companies to reduce the range anxiety phenomenon that Ontario Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca says is the main reason electric cars have been slow to penetrate the motoring mainstream.

To that end, the province's partners include fast food retailers McDonald's and Tim Hortons, and Ikea, the Swedish haven of cheap food and furniture. More than 300 of the chargers will be in the Greater Toronto Area, and points immediately west, like Hamilton, but the project will see many of Ontario's small town get chargers: for example, Arnprior, about a 30 minute drive west of Ottawa, will get three; Fenelon Falls, in the Kawartha Lakes region, is getting one, and South Porcupine, a little settlement just east of Timmins is getting one, too.

Most of the charging stations will be Level 2 units that use 240-volt current to charge up a typical EV in four to six hours; a smaller number will be Level 3 chargers that can get a vehicle's battery up to 80 full in just 30 minutes.

EV drivers shouldn't expect a free charge, at least not everywhere: the province says the chargers will accept credit cards for payment, but businesses hosting the charging stations can opt to make the service free as a way to add value for their clients.
