Electric car friendly Toronto

December 22, 2009

After great cities like London, Los Angeles, Hong Kong or Sydney, Toronto is the 14th one to become very electric car friendly. As Toronto Mayor David Miller seems to be really a fan of environment issues lately, he recently proclaimed that Toronto is committed to working with Toronto Hydro and the province to ensure that the infrastructure is there for the charging of the vehicles.

If we just compare the number of gas stations and places to recharge electric cars, we don’t get nice results. There are so many gas stations for standard vehicles but no place at all to recharge electric vehicles. According to Miller, if the plan will be rightly fulfilled, there will be charging stations well located in city parking lots or residential parking areas. He believes that exactly recharging stations are vital for the spread of electric vehicles.

As declared during recent Copenhagen climate talks, cities, in this case particularly Toronto, indeed seem to be taking action to protect the environment. Great that the leadership of the city is so supportive. Way to go! Toronto needs to go as an example to other top cities.
