EV Chargers across Selwyn Township
Selwyn Township is installing 6 new Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) chargers! The chargers will be located at the Township Office, Ennismore Community Centre, Bridgenorth Library, and the River Den. The new chargers will increase access to public charging in Selwyn Township.
Funding Support
Selwyn Township received funding from Aviva Canada’s Charged for Change Program. The Township was one of seven communities to receive funding in 2023.
The Charged for Change Program is a $3 million partnership between Aviva Canada and Earth Day Canada to deliver electric vehicle charging stations for public use in under-served communities across Canada. Underserved communities are those that have less than the provincial average number of charging stations based on population size. The program covers 100% of costs to install electric vehicle chargers, to help make EV infrastructure more accessible and support communities in their transition to electric vehicle journey.
How to Use a Level-2 FLO Charging Station
- You must first become a FLO member – it’s simple and free. Create your account here.
- Park your vehicle in front of the charging station.
- Activate the station by placing your FLO card on the reader or select the station in the FLO mobile app and press 'start a session'.
- Once your session has been authenticated, plug the connector into your vehicle. Charging will start immediately.
- Once charging is complete, unplug the connector, and place it back into the station holster.

In November 2023 the Township installed 6 electric vehicle chargers at four locations, including the Township Municipal Office, Ennismore Community Centre, Bridgenorth Library, and the River Den in Lakefield. The new chargers help expand access to public charging in Selwyn Township, which supports a transition to electric vehicles and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Residents and visitors can now charge their plug-in hybrid or electric vehicles across Selwyn Township!
“Today, we're not just launching new electric vehicle chargers; we're plugging into a sustainable future for Selwyn Township. These chargers mark our commitment to driving change, empowering our community to embrace clean transportation and steer towards a greener horizon."
- Sherry Senis, Mayor of Selwyn Township
