Electric vehicle owners no longer have to worry about where their next charge is coming from when travelling through northwestern Ontario. Ivy Charging Network — which is a partnership between Hydro One and Ontario Power Generation — officially completed the northwestern Ontario portion of its network on Thursday, when it opened a new charging station at Longbow Lake, near Kenora. "One of the main barriers to electric vehicle adoption is range anxiety," said Theresa Dekker, co-president of Ivy Charging Network. The new level three charging station is one of six in Ivy's northwestern Ontario network. She said a 20-minute charge at a level-three charting station will allow an electric vehicle to travel about 100 kilometres.
