There are plans to have electric car hookups installed across the North, including Espanola.
Tesla has just switched on its first electric car charging station in Northern Ontario and it won’t be the last.
It’s in the parking lot of a busy shopping centre on Long Lake Road in the south end of Sudbury.
The new Tesla station will only work for vehicles of that brand.
There are seven charging stations in Sudbury and another two dozen are planned across the northeast.
The Sudbury station is the first to come online, while most others are estimated to be in service by the end of 2018.
According to the Tesla Canada website, the company has plans to roll out 15 SuperCharger sites across Northern Ontario along the Trans-Canada Highway, including North Bay, Espanola, Blind River, Sault Ste. Marie, Batchewana Bay and Wawa.
