FAQs

An electric car uses an electric motor, powered by a battery, instead of a traditional gasoline engine. The batteries in these vehicles need to be recharged when depleted. Electric vehicle charging stations are essentially specialized outlets that these vehicles can plug into to recharge their batteries.

All the stations are level-2 charging stations, which can fully charge a vehicle in 3 to 6 hours, depending on vehicle type.

These charging stations are being installed as part of the City of Brampton’s commitment to environmental sustainability. Helping to make electric vehicles more convenient for residents and businesses in Brampton will encourage more residents to adopt this environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional cars, and lower their carbon footprint.

Anyone with a plug-in electric vehicle is welcome to use the charging stations.

The City charges a user fee of $1.00 per hour for the first three hours of charging, and $5.00 per hour for each additional hour.

Affected parking spaces are marked with signage indicating that parking is restricted to electric vehicles only, and also have a green electric car symbol painted on the pavement.

No, parking in these spaces is reserved exclusively for EV while charging. As of January 2021, use by non-EV owners or EV owners not plugged-in, on conviction, are subject to a $125 fine.

No, only electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles that are plugged-in for the purpose of charging their vehicles can park in a designated space.

This is a Provincially mandated statute that came into effect on January 1, 2021. The City of Brampton is complying with the mandate.
