BurlingtonGreen will be completing a community based Electric Mobility Strategy in partnership with the City of Burlington. Implementing this strategy is a priority action area identified in the City’s Climate Action Plan, approved by Council in April 2020. The strategy will focus on actions to support plug-in light duty electric vehicles that use electricity from an external charging source to fuel the movement of the vehicle either in whole or in part.
Take Action Burlington! Share your Switch to showcase your experience and inspire others to be a part of the climate solution! Collectively we can make a difference.
