Are you heading to the cottage in your electric vehicle (EV) and looking for a nearby charging station? Charging your EV in Muskoka has just become more convenient.

The town has welcomed four new EV chargers now sanctioned at 98 Pine Street in Bracebridge.

Installation includes two J1772 (standard) ports and two NACS (Tesla) ports, making charging accessible for a wide range of EV drivers.

This project was made possible through Lakeland EV Charging, a solution division that is focused on energy innovation.

“This project is an important step in our New Leaf Climate Action Plan and Community Energy and Emissions Reduction Plan,” shared town staff over social media.

According to town officials, the charging quad located at the Pines Long-Term Care Home in Muskoka can help:

• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions; nearly 70 per cent of local emissions come from vehicles.
• Support residents and visitors making the switch to EVs.
• Strengthen Muskoka’s role as a sustainable tourism destination.

“Together, we’re protecting Muskoka’s environment, leading by example on climate action, and investing in the infrastructure our communities need for the future,” town officials said.
