Lafarge Canada has installed its first electric vehicle charging stations at its Kent Avenue readymix concrete batching plant in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The company’s Vancouver team built the four stations with US$39,200 in funding from Lafarge
Canada and US$15,700 in funding from BC Hydro’s CleanBC Go Electric Vehicle charger rebate
programme. Dow Jones Institutional News has reported that the company plans to establish 96 further stations at 30 sites in British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. It says that the electric vehicle charging network will enable it to eliminate 188t of CO2 emissions by 2028.
