The province of British Columbia passed the Zero-Emission Vehicles Act (ZEV Act) on May 30, 2019. This legislation requires that the percentage of sales and leases of light duty electric vehicles (EVs) reach 10 percent by 2025, 30 percent by 2030, and 100 percent by 2040.
To support this provincial target, as well as local priorities for climate action, air quality and green house gas reduction, Fraser City is assisting The City of Chilliwack by moving forward with requirements and guidelines for EV charging stations in new developments, as well as expanding the City-owned public charging network.
In February 2022, Council approved the purchase of 12 new electric vehicle charging stations that will provide 22 charging ports in seven locations throughout Chilliwack. Ten of the new stations will be dual-port, Level 2 chargers, and two will be single-port, Level 3 chargers.
