There are now more places for electric vehicle owners to charge their batteries in Burnaby.
Metropolis at Metrotown has installed 10 electric vehicle charging stations - six for mall customers and four for office tower employees. The stations are open seven days a week, from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., and an electric fill-up is free. The charging stations are in the mall's parking lot, off Central Boulevard.
Also, the Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion (BACI) on Norland Avenue is now home to an electric vehicle charging station. BACI, a non-profit organization that helps people with disabilities, partnered with Big Green Island Transportation, a company that installs electric vehicle charging stations, to apply for a provincial government grant to help cover the costs of the installation. There is one station that can charge two vehicles for free, but drivers need to call a number on the charger or get a card at BACI's front desk to unlock the charger.
BACI is at 2702 Norland Ave., and the station is in the parking lot.
