A public EV charging station was opened Sept. 27, 2016 at the Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority's (MVCA) Wrox- eter location, as part of a Bruce Power initiative that will also see stations open locally over the coming weeks in conjunc- tion with municipalities and post -secondary education institutions.

On Sept. 20, a collaborative report was released by Bruce Power, Plug'n Drive, Pollution Probe and the University of Waterloo's Department of Chem- ical Engineering. It explores ways to build upon existing policy framework at the federal and pro- vincial levels with respect to plug- in EVs. The report, titled Acceler- ating the Deployment of Plug-in Electric Vehicles in Canada and Ontario, also highlights opportu- nities to accelerate and optimize the decarbonization capability of EVs.
