A key prerequisite to inform this plan is a decision around a preferred public Electric Vehicle charging delivery model. This report evaluates public Electric Vehicle charging delivery models to inform and support delivery model decision as a strategic decision that will enable the most efficient and effective way to achieve associated near- and long-term goals and objectives within the City of Toronto's ("the City") Strategic Planning Framework. Based on the evaluation completed on a City-led Model against a Collaborative Model, and considering the magnitude of the City's unfunded capital program and the cost of generational programs such as the housing plan, transit, and climate action initiatives, City staff are recommending that Environment, Climate and Forestry, in coordination with the Toronto Parking Authority, begin negotiations with three Short-Listed Proponents, guided by Key Negotiating Principles, both outlined in Confidential Attachment 1, with the objective of identifying a Successful Proponent by fourth quarter of 2025 to inform the three-year funding plan and strategy around public Electric Vehicle charging, and report back to the Infrastructure and Environment Committee by the end of first quarter of 2026, on the results of those negotiations.
