Yoho and Glacier National Parks Get First EV Charging Stations
Yoho and Glacier National Parks are the first Parks Canada locations across Canada to have electric vehicle charing stations installed. Part of the Accelerate Kootenays electric vehicle (EV) charging network, is part of a 2-year, $1.5 million initiative and a collaboration between Accelerate Kootenays project and BC Hydro.
“The Government of Canada is committed to protecting nature, parks, and wild spaces. We are pleased to see new and innovative initiatives like the Accelerate Kootenays project that enable Canadians to connect with Parks Canada places in the most eco-friendly way possible. The new EV charging stations in Glacier and Yoho national parks support electric mobility across Canada’s mountain ranges – promoting clean air, clear water, and a healthy environment.”
