HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Citizen, 2013-11-14, Page 25The Township of North Huronofficially unveiled its new ElectricVehicle Charger (EVC) earlier on
Nov. 7 in downtown Wingham and
were joined by local residents,
Wingham BIA members, municipal
council and staff, and Christopher
Misch from Sun Country Highway
Ltd.
The CS-90 EVC unit has been
installed in front of the North Huron
Museum located at 273 Josephine
Street in downtown Wingham. The
90-amp unit, purchased from SunCountry, provides up to 100kilometres of travel on a one-hour
charge on select e-vehicles. Sun
Country has established a web-based
navigational tool that enables
electrical vehicle owners to route
and plan their trips so they’ll
know the co-ordinates of the
unit in Wingham. There are also
EVC units at The Old Mill south of
Blyth and at McGavin’s Farm
Equipment in Walton. The parking
space in front of the unit inWingham has been painted greenand there is an EVC sign to
clearly mark the space for electric
vehicles.
“North Huron’s investment in this
technology demonstrates our
commitment to the environment and
reducing vehicle emissions,” said
North Huron Reeve Neil Vincent.
“Having an EVC unit in Wingham,
and south of Blyth, will position
North Huron to benefit from eco-
tourism as more people will bevisiting our communities andspending time in our downtowns.”
Sun Country is a Canadian-owned
company that works to raise
awareness about electric vehicle
infrastructure and zero-emission
transportation. Their aim is to
empower Canadians to make
choices that promote economic and
environmental sustainability and
help to green Canada’s highways by
fostering a culture shift toward
greener living.“Sun Country Highway is verypleased to partner with North Huron
and the Wingham community to
provide electric vehicle charging –
this will help draw electric vehicles
into the downtown region,
promoting local economic growth
for the local area while also
showcasing the municipality’s
commitment to a cleaner
environment,” Christopher Misch –
VP, Sun Country Highway said.
