EV Transportation

Electric Vehicles in the County

We are making it easier for people to switch to electric cars by increasing the number of EV charging stations in the county and nearby areas through the Regional EV Charging Network Strategy.

Electric cars are becoming more popular and are now better suited for people living in rural areas:

  • There are now more electric pickup trucks coming to market
  • Batteries that can last up to 400 km on a single charge
