Subhead:Order Paper response shows taxpayer-funded charging stations sitting idle across multiple departments, with some used once a month or not at all# The federal government has spent years pushing Canadians toward electric vehicles, but new internal data suggests even Ottawa’s own workforce isn’t buying in. A recent Order Paper Question, Q-872, tabled in the House of Commons by Conservative MP Dan Mazier, reveals widespread underuse of government-installed electric vehicle charging stations across multiple departments.

Some are used as little as once a month, translating to roughly 0.03 vehicles per day. Over at Library and Archives Canada, usage is so low that entire months pass without a single charge. Even at its peak, usage never exceeded 0.23 vehicles per day, about one car every four to five days.Read More
