Baseload Power Corporation (Baseload) has secured $9.445 million in funding from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) to expand its electric vehicle (EV) charging network across Canada.
The funding agreement, announced in Toronto, will enable the installation of 126 additional fast EV chargers, which will be operational by the end of 2025.
These chargers will be located in Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia, expanding Baseload’s AURA EV Charging (AURA) network to over 200 stations nationwide.
“With this contribution from the Government of Canada, we are making essential investments in EV charging infrastructure to support the country’s planned EV supply chain growth and to accelerate EV adoption nationwide,” said Jonathan Sandler, President of Baseload. “The electrification of transportation represents a transformative shift, and Canada has a unique opportunity to lead this movement, foster job creation and economic growth, and contribute to a healthier planet that ensures a sustainable legacy for future generations.”
The funding comes through NRCan’s Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program, which supports projects aimed at helping Canada achieve its net-zero emissions goal by 2050.
“To support Canadians choosing EVs, the Government of Canada is helping companies like Baseload Power build reliable and available charging options where we live, work, travel and play,” said Julie Dabrusin, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources and MP for Toronto–Danforth.
This initiative is part of Baseload’s broader commitment to sustainable energy solutions and to accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles across Canada.
