Two new FLO SmartTWO Level 2 EV Charging Stations have been added in the main parking lot of Witty’s Lagoon Regional Park for use by the public.
Visitors who wish to use the new EV chargers will need to have a Flo, BC Hydro, or Charge Point account, and can use the mobile app of their choice or an access card to activate the chargers. The chargers do not accept credit cards. The charging fee is $1 per hour, and the chargers have a three-hour limit, after which visitors must move their vehicle. The chargers will be available for use from sunrise to sunset, and they will be listed on the online FLO map as well as on PlugShare.com.
Adding EV chargers in high-visitation regional parks is not only a priority identified within the CRD Regional Parks & Trails Strategic Plan 2022-32, reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the region is also a CRD 2023-26 Board Priority.
The CRD currently has 10 other publicly available EV chargers installed in parks and at rec centres, including two in Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park, at Beaver Beach. The organization also has over 60 CRD fleet-specific EV chargers at worksites across the region.
