EV charging in Brampton, Ontario
Brampton continues to add public Level 2 charging at civic sites and garages. The City charges a user fee of $1 per hour for the first three hours and $5 per hour afterward at City-owned stations. Regional partners have deployed additional chargers across Peel to expand access. ([Brampton][10])
Municipal chargers are distributed at community centres, libraries and parking structures; private networks supply most DC fast charging along Highway 410 and 407 corridors. The City adopted internal standards for networked public chargers at City sites to ensure operability and consistency. ([Let's Connect Brampton][11])
PlugMapper integrates national and network data so drivers can check power levels, connectors and availability in real time, complementing municipal information and regional expansion news. ([Natural Resources Canada][3])
