EV charging in London, Ontario
London anchors Southwestern Ontario’s road network, with EV charging split between downtown destinations, institutional sites and highway-oriented fast chargers on the 401 and 402 corridors. Home charging economics benefit from Ontario’s Ultra-Low Overnight rate plan, which shifts demand to off-peak hours.
Level 2 stations cluster downtown and around Western University and healthcare precincts, while DC fast coverage supports intercity travel along provincial highways. Provincial ChargeON grants and federal ZEVIP funding continue to expand public access across the region.
PlugMapper consolidates federal datasets and network updates to maintain current listings and pricing notes, extending coverage to nearby Middlesex County sites so drivers can plan backups for peak periods and events.

Market insights shaping local charging
Rapid chargers cluster along Highways 401 and 402 to support regional trips, so downtown drivers often plan Level 2 backups for event nights.
The Ultra-Low Overnight plan concentrates charging load at night, reducing daytime demand at public sites and improving availability for visitors.
ChargeON and ZEVIP grants are key to filling coverage gaps at retail centres and municipal facilities in outer neighbourhoods.
Adding a backup stop—especially for winter highway trips—mitigates queueing and range impacts from cold temperatures.
