EV charging in Toronto, Ontario
Toronto’s public EV charging network is growing through City divisions and agencies, notably the Toronto Parking Authority’s program and a City approach to public EV charging through 2030. Federal ZEVIP and Ontario’s ChargeON grants provide additional capital support for public, workplace, and multi-unit residential installations across the city.
Coverage is strongest in downtown garages, civic sites, and commercial corridors, with expanding on-street pilots delivered by Toronto Hydro and the City. Drivers will encounter FLO, ChargePoint, Ivy, Tesla, SWTCH, and Green P-operated sites. Fast charging is concentrated near major arterials and provincial highways for regional trips.
PlugMapper combines NRCan’s station locator data with operator feeds and City/TPA updates, validating locations within municipal boundaries and adding speed, connector, and amenity details to improve routing.
