Cardston County recently installed three dual-connector Level 2 chargers at the Cardston Shop (2 chargers) and Main Office (1 charger). The chargers are anticipated to serve tourists as well as our own community members who own or may be considering switching to electric vehicles. 

Cardston County, located in Southern Alberta, encompasses several communities and over 3,000 square kilometers of land. Conveniently located near Highways 2 and 5 and minutes away from the Canada-US border, the installed chargers are highly accessible to community members and visitors passing through. 

"We are excited to welcome our first (EV) Chargers to Cardston County. We are entering the 21^st century with new infrastructure for our residents who already own or want to transition to an electric vehicle. Thank you to the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre for making this a possibility by providing funding programs to rural municipalities, which allow us to have the opportunity to purchase these stations. Together we will help reduce our carbon footprint within Cardston County as we move towards a better and more sustainable future."

"Cardston County now has three new EV Charging Stations; one is located at the County Administration building that is available to the public, and two at the Shop for Administrative & Municipal use. This could not have happened without the considerable grant funding we received from the Municipal Climate Change Action Centre, and we thank them for this contribution to our community. These stations will help reduce future fuel and maintenance costs to our fleet as we work to conserve, protect, and enhance the environment for our residents – both now and in the future,"
