“It’s a chicken and egg thing,” says Ferguson. “We’re going to build the network and then continue to proactively grow it.” “The idea is we’ll be able to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles,” says Matt Vines, co-president of Ivy Charging Network. Soon, for $9, electric vehicle users will be able to charge for half an hour to drive 150 kilometres - or about the distance from Toronto to Orillia. The company was created to solve “range anxiety,” or the fear of buying an electric vehicle in Ontario due to a lack of charging stations. It will make Ivy the largest fast-charger network connecting Ontario from Kenora in the northwest to Cornwall in the southeast.

As of mid-December, 28 of those stations were fully operational but Ivy hoped to have the full system up and running by spring 2022. The company is funded in part by both companies, as well as $8 million from Natural Resources Canada, with the goal of launching 160 chargers at 73 locations, each an average of less than 100 kilometres apart, by the end of the year.
Fast forward many conversations with stakeholders and years of planning, OPG and Hydro One, the province’s largest distribution utility, announced a new joint venture: Ivy Charging Network.
