Origin

(December 20, 2021) Report from the General Manager, Transportation Services

Summary

This report provides an update on the one-year Residential and Downtown On-Street Electric Vehicle Charging Station pilots that were launched in October of 2020, including information on charging station utilization, greenhouse gas impacts, costs, revenues and measures taken to improve compliance by non-Electric Vehicle operators with the existing Electric Vehicle parking regulations.  

 

At the request of Toronto Hydro, the report seeks City Council approval to continue collecting data on the sites that were part of the Downtown and Residential Electric Vehicle Charging Station pilots by eight (8) months. While uptake of the pilots’ charging stations has increased over the past 12 months, the pandemic has had an impact on some of the findings. This ongoing review will allow time to collect additional data for a more accurate reflection of Electric Vehicle charging adoption as more of the workforce returns to work centres and Electric Vehicle owners require steady-state charging of their Electric Vehicles. If approved staff will be seeking City Council authority to amend the existing participation agreements between Transportation Services and Toronto Hydro to reflect an extension to the pilots for eight more months.

 

The report also speaks to the plan for extending the first stage of the Electric Vehicle roll-out into a more comprehensive city-wide program. It is further anticipated that this program be transferred to the responsibility of the Toronto Parking Authority beginning in 2023 and that Toronto Parking Authority integrate this program with its network of public Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure that it is developing as part of its Electric Vehicle charging program.
