Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) and Toronto Hydro are plugging into progress with the energization of the 500th electric vehicle (EV) charging station. This marks a major milestone in Toronto's electrified transportation journey. With more places to charge than ever before, driving electric in Toronto is becoming more convenient and a smart way to save money.
The newest charger, located at Green P Carpark 504, 9 Willingdon Blvd., joins Canada's largest municipally owned EV charging network, built through collaboration between TPA and Toronto Hydro. Together, we're helping make electric transportation more accessible and convenient for residents and visitors.
TPA has taken the lead in expanding and managing the city's EV charging network, helping drive Toronto's transition to cleaner transportation. Toronto Hydro played a pivotal role in launching the network, having installed, owned and operated the initial portfolio of EV charging stations before transferring ownership to TPA in 2023.
Toronto Hydro continues to be an enabling force behind Toronto's electrification goals, ensuring the energy powering the city's EV future is both reliable and accessible. In partnership with the City of Toronto, Toronto Hydro installed its first EV charger in October 2020. Now, in 2025 alone, Toronto Hydro will connect over 4,000 EV charging stations at buildings and residential homes, helping ensure EV charging is available where and when people need it.
