Electric vehicle owners in New Brunswick will soon have access to more charging options as the province is planning to expand its charging infrastructure.
According to a press release, the government is investing more than $6 million in three projects that will add new electric vehicle charging stations across the province, making travel more accessible for EV owners.
The projects will expand the province’s eCharge network by adding 16 new fast chargers, bringing the total to 29 ports, and building additional charging stations at République, Mactaquac and Herring Cove provincial parks.
Environment and Climate Change Minister Gilles LePage said in the release that adding more electric vehicle chargers is a “positive step” toward achieving the province’s 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction target.
The funding will also support the expansion of the province’s electric vehicle fleet. The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure will establish three regional charging hubs in Moncton, Saint John and Miramichi.
The department will also install single-port charging stations at strategic fleet housing locations to improve readiness and support the transition.
“New Brunswick remains committed to ensuring the vehicles in its government fleet are both modern and environmentally sustainable,” said DTI Minister Chuck Chiasson. “This additional funding will help us continue this trend by expanding upon our existing inventory of electric vehicles and increasing the fleet’s charging infrastructure across the province.”
The funding is part of New Brunswick’s 2026-27 Climate Change Fund, which is also supporting 69 other projects through an investment of nearly $64 million.
The fund supports projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, advance education and strengthen the province’s climate resilience. A list of the projects is available online.
