Plenty Canada investigating feasibility and funding for EV Charger Installation

​Though there is an electric charging station within a 20-minute drive from Plenty Canada (a set of public use units in Perth), only having one charging station within this fairly spread-out rural area often comes with its own unique difficulties. For instance, tow trucks lugging in electric cars that couldn't make it to a charger in time are a common occurrence around the Lanark and McDonald's Corners area; it seems that even veteran drivers of these vehicles can often have trouble navigating between the sparse charging stations that dot the countryside.
 
This is merely an anecdote, of course, but it speaks to the deep need for robust infrastructure to support alternatives to fossil fuels, especially in areas of the country that are often overlooked in this regard. Now that Plenty Canada has firmly established itself as a carbon-negative organization, a living testament to the viability of solar energy, they would also like to become a local advocate for electric vehicles as well.
 
As a result, Plenty Canada has recently been researching the potential installation of an EV charging station to accompany its new CampUS. Given that the organization expects a surge of new visitors to the office after the CampUs has been opened, now is the perfect time to offer a much-needed utility to both new friends and dedicated supporters. And with more and more vehicles becoming electric, the new chargers will, ideally, both support and hasten this trend, sending a message to the entire country that a world without fossil fuels is very much within our reach.
