“The federal government has set these targets and is supporting them. They have spent nearly a billion-and-a-half dollars on charging infrastructure, but other public and private sector players also play a pretty important role, and that includes car companies. Provincial governments can also offer their own financial rebates, whether it's EV rebates or public charging program rebates.
