Tesla says in the filing it wants to “engage with the government and its agencies to identify opportunities and propose solutions to reduce electricity costs for large-scale DC fast charging operations, including for commercial truck fleets.”
The automaker on Jan. 19 amended a previous filing with the Lobbyist Registry of Ontario reiterating its plan. Electric Autonomy Canada was the first to report on the filing.
“Tesla’s intended outcome is to help accelerate the pace at which charging station new service connections are provided while minimizing connection costs, in order to increase number of charging stations deployed in Ontario,” the automaker wrote.The filing comes about two months after Tesla sent a 10-page letter to Ontario’s Environmental Policy Office offering advice on how the province could spend $91 million it committed to electric-vehicle charging infrastructure.
“The government must prioritize investments that will truly help deploy critical EV charging infrastructure in areas that help make charging fast, accessible, and as convenient as gasoline refueling as possible,” Tesla said in its letter to Katerina Downard at the Environmental Policy Office.“Tesla applauds the government of Ontario’s commitment to investing in EV charging infrastructure.
In its lobbyist filing in January, Tesla says it wants to “ensure the efficient and consistent integration of electric vehicle charging infrastructure with the transmission and distribution systems across the province.” “Tesla’s intended outcome is to help accelerate the pace at which charging station new service connections are provided while minimizing connection costs, in order to increase the number of charging stations deployed in Ontario,” the automaker wrote.
