On the agenda

As the city filed it

This report concludes the Residential and Downtown On-Street Electric Vehicle Charging Station pilots that were launched in October 2020 and provides the final metrics on charging station utilization, greenhouse gas impacts, costs, revenues and parking regulation compliance rates. This report also identifies thirty-two (32) new charging stations that will be installed prior to the end of 2022 with funding support from The Atmospheric Fund and the Environment and Energy Division with project execution support from Toronto Hydro.

The rapid nature in which these new stations were proposed and finalized illustrates that a refreshed framework for inter-agency collaboration has been solidified, expediting the roll-out of publicly available on-street Electric Vehicle charging stations city-wide in the coming years. The application of established siting criteria, ensuring Councillor participation and feedback in the site selection process and seeking additional funding through new incentive and grant funds have been critical to the success of this expanded roll-out and will continue to be in the future. As the pilot concludes and the roll-out of on-street Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure continues, staff are proposing minor adjustments to charging rates, the creation of a set of updated design guidelines that will include feedback from the accessibility community and other stakeholders, and ongoing collaboration with various entities, including the City's Electric Vehicle Working Group responsible for the Electric Vehicle file. To further ensure the continuation of this successful process, this report requests authorization for up to an additional year of a partnership agreement between the City of Toronto and Toronto Hydro. This extended partnership agreement will support the delivery of 32 new on-street chargers this year and will support the transition expected in the Second Quarter of 2023 between Toronto Hydro and the Toronto Parking Authority, who will be responsible for operations and maintenance of the on-street chargers as well as the roll-out of additional on-street Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure in future years as part of its overall Electric Vehicle charging program.
