British Columbia’s electric highway will get a supercharge this year with $30 million from Budget 2024 to add more than 500 public charging stations to more than 5,000 already available across the province.

A high-tech revolution is dramatically changing how British Columbia moves people and goods in the air, on the land and over the water, supported by government funding for companies that specialize in inventing and advancing zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) technologies.

Two Lower Mainland companies are helping B.C. transition to a clean-energy future by advancing the use of hydrogen technology, creating jobs and supporting B.C.’s Hydrogen Strategy.

British Columbia’s network of public electric vehicle (EV) fast-charging stations is expanding with the opening of 25 new stations in Vancouver, North Burnaby and New Westminster, making it easier for people commuting in the Lower Mainland to charge up their EVs.

With support from the Province, the University of British Columbia (UBC) is about to break ground on a project that will transform a city-sized block of campus into a world-leading smart energy district to test how hydrogen can be used to power a low-carbon future.

The Government of British Columbia has allocated $10 million to the construction and operation of 10 hydrogen fuelling stations in the province, as well as three years of support for Hydrogen BC.
