THANKS FOR DOING ALL OF THIS, Appreciate you asking for Input!
I have owned a TESLA Model S for 3 Years and see no issues with charging in Ontario, but we also need to continue to improve the infrastructure of Level 2/3
Please also address the CONDO Community, and have them offer Charging Installations on a Pay/Usage Basis. EV Owners must pay for Hydro but need the approvals to have them installed or better educated in making them available.

•EV Purchase Incentive should be directly tied to Battery Size and BEV ONLY, and PHEV should be removed or offered the smallest amount as some owners will buy these just for the incentives and GREEN PLATE allowances.

oDo you think these caps influence an EV buyer’s decision to purchase an EV or a specific type of EV? Absolutely, but greater emphasis should be placed on BEV over PHEV. Keep in mind what makes a BEV (Tesla and others) Expensive is the size of the Battery. Directly Tie the Incentive to the size of the Battery and discourage people from purchasing PHEV (EV’s Masquerading with a gas engine)
•How can the government adjust the Electric Vehicle Charging Incentive Program (EVCIP) to benefit even more EV owners? TAX the TAILPIPE! All of these programs can be paid for by TAXING Bad behavior. The more people save, the more likely they are to switch. Other incentives can come from Removing HST on BEV ONLY
2. Electric Vehicle Chargers Ontario Program (EVCO)
•What program features (e.g., eligibility requirements, evaluation criteria, technical requirements) should be considered in a program to deploy charging stations at workplaces, multi-unit residential buildings, downtowns and town centers?
•Offer a rebate on the Charger/Install and use a Pay-Per-Usage Program
•Specifically for multi-residential and workplaces:
oWho are best positioned to implement the installation of charging stations?
oHow should funding for charging stations be structured and/or capped? What value(s) of cap(s) should be applied?
oHow can government best engage workplaces, condos and apartment boards to participate in the EVCO program? Offer a Pay per usage program with a rebate on the Charger/Install itself. EV Owners can pay for usage, but just need them readily available.
