Electric vehicles are becoming the future of transportation and in order to meet that demand and shift, communities will need EV chargers and infrastructure to accommodate this change. The Town of The Pas and The Pas Community Development Corporation (TPCDC) are working together to install an EV charger in the community for the near future.
“Electric vehicles can become very important to economic development and tourism, with it being quite new in the local community, we don't know exactly what impacts will happen, but we do know there is an opportunity to advance alongside the rest of the country,” said TPCDC Economic Development Coordinator Jackie Rechenmacher. “With the popularity of EV and the requirements from federal government over the next 10 years, this is an opportunity to work towards that goal and ensure The Pas is an option when it comes to EV tourism.
