New Brunswick allocates $955,000 for EV charging hubs in three cities under $64 million climate fund

The Government of New Brunswick announced nearly $64 million for 72 Climate Change Fund projects, with over $6 million dedicated to EV charging infrastructure. The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure will spend $955,000 creating regional charging hubs in Miramichi, Moncton, and Saint John to support the province's expanding EV fleet, alongside single port charging stations at strategic fleet housing locations for buses and light vehicles.
Why it matters: The provincial procurement signals a structured fleet electrification programme with dedicated hub infrastructure in three urban centres, creating potential supply and installation contracts. The focus on fleet housing locations for buses and light vehicles indicates a shift towards depot charging models that may favour turnkey solutions from CPOs experienced in public sector deployments.
