City expands electric vehicle charging network

Two new electric vehicle charging stations have been installed by the City of Lethbridge at the Helen Schuler Nature Centre.

The initiative is through the Electric Vehicle Charging Program. Officials say it supports the growing adoption of EVs and ensures the city remains accessible and welcoming for drivers.

Environmental Manager Mark Svenson says expanding Lethbridge’s EV infrastructure is a strategic investment that supports long-term transportation, environmental and economic objectives. “A well-distributed charging network gives residents and visitors more options for getting around and exploring Lethbridge,” notes Svenson. 

The new FLO level two chargers, offering 19.2 kW delivery, are at the north end of the parking lot at the Nature Centre. They’re available during the facility’s regular operational hours.  

“From an environmental perspective, broader EV infrastructure means fewer greenhouse gas emissions by enabling a shift away from gas-powered vehicles,” adds Svenson. “This aligns with the City’s climate and sustainability goals, while supporting provincial and federal policy direction.”  

Including the new duo, there are 26 level two chargers throughout the city:  

  • Downtown Park ‘n Ride Transit Terminal (10)  
  • VisitLethbridge.com Arena (6)  
  • City Hall (4)  
  • Cavendish Farms Centre (4)  

There are also two FLO DC fast chargers, offering 100 kW delivery, at Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden. For more information about Lethbridge’s EV charging network, visit the City’s website.
