EV charging in Winnipeg, Manitoba
Winnipeg's public network combines municipal Level 2 at select City sites with private-network stations across major corridors. The Winnipeg Parking Authority set a city EV charging fee schedule in 2025, while the province launched new EV purchase rebates in July 2024 to spur adoption. ([City of Winnipeg][6])
City-operated Level 2 chargers are available at Seven Oaks Pool, Bill & Helen Norrie Library, Kildonan Park and St. Vital Park; broader coverage comes from private DC fast networks. Manitoba also committed funding for 51 additional chargers through the Climate Action Fund in April 2025. ([City of Winnipeg][6])
PlugMapper layers the NRCan national dataset with network feeds to display live availability, connector types and power levels—useful for finding DC fast options near downtown, the Perimeter Highway and regional routes. ([Natural Resources Canada][3])
