Parks Canada notes that the Government of Canada committed in May 2019 to have charging station infrastructure at or near 25 of the most popular Parks Canada places across the country by 2021, meaning it has hit its goal early. Looking forward, the government aims to provide at least 50 popular Parks Canada places with charging stations by 2025.
