After years of sitting out-of-service, the electric vehicle charging stations at the Tobermory Community Centre are once again functional.
ChargerQuest expanded its EV Fast Charging Hub to Tobermory in 2022 but according to the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula (MNBP), after a lightning strike in 2023 power was disrupted to the new charging stations.
It was out of service for nearly 3 years as ChargerQuest faced persistent grounding issues and local power grid complications. While ChargerQuest still holds the physical infrastructure contract, the network and software are operated by Noodoe. They are responsible for the cloud automation, user app and payment processing.
MNBP is the landowner and Hydro One is responsible for the underlying high voltage power lines and feeding the site.
The rate is currently set at 46 cents/kWh, with customers successfully pulling a 120-kW charge, according to Plug Share.
Other public EV charging sites:
-Blue Heron Company, 20 Head St. Tobermory
-Tobermory Princess Hotel, 34 Bay St. Tobermory
-Millers Family Camp, 108 Miller Lake Shore Rd. Miller Lake
-Summer House Park, 197 Miller Lake Shore Rd. Miller Lake
EV Charging sites for guests only:
-Escarpment Heights Hotel, 16 Hay Bay Rd. Tobermory
-Lionheart Guest House, 87 Main St. Lion’s Head
-Sweet Water Bay Hotel, 201 Little Cove Rd. Tobermory
