Moncton is preparing for a significant shift toward electric mobility. Currently, nearly 1,000 electric vehicles (EVs) are registered in the city. However, with provincial and federal targets pushing for 50% of new vehicle sales to be zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2030, and 100% by 2035, Moncton could see as many as 30,000 EVs on the road by 2035 and nearly 60,000 by 2040. Achieving these targets will depend on the availability of EVs and the accessibility of charging infrastructure.

To support this transition, we’re exploring a range of policies and programs to address barriers to adopting electric vehicles and micromobility devices, such as electric bicycles (e-bikes) and scooters. These initiatives aim to enhance charging access, improve affordability, and integrate micromobility into City planning.

Key areas of focus include:

  • Electric Vehicles: Improving access to home and public EV charging, supporting fleet electrification, and advocating for continued financial incentives.
  • Micromobility: Promoting e-bike accessibility, advancing supportive policies, and enhancing infrastructure for safe and secure e-bike parking.

Check out our FAQ for a full list of policy and program options available to support micromobility and electric vehicles.

HOW YOU CAN PARTICIPATE:

  1. Respond to the survey below by Nov. 3
  2. Ask a question about the project in the Q&A tab below
  3. Send us an email at letschat@moncton.ca

  • Share Hi, my main goal would be to improve where EV chargers are placed throughout the city. City hall parking lot is a good location, but most of the rest are at car dealerships - how much time do you typically spend at your dealership? Ideally, EV chargers would be intentionally placed where we want to see people spend an hour of their time - near restaurants, store, cultural spaces, recreation places. And there need to be a few DC fast chargers along the highway for those who don't want to come to the city centre. on Facebook Share Hi, my main goal would be to improve where EV chargers are placed throughout the city.

    Hi Angela, 

    Thank you for your feedback! 

    NB Power installed a DC fast charger at City Hall and the City of Moncton installed level 2 chargers at municipal facilities like City Hall, the Magnetic Hill Zoo, Resurgo Place, and the Crossman Community Centre-Kay Arena. These locations were chosen to support residents and visitors while they enjoy some of the city’s key attractions.

    As for highway chargers, New Brunswick has an extensive network of EV chargers along major routes. You can explore the provincial charging network here: NB Power EV Charging.

    We appreciate your input as we continue working to expand Moncton’s EV infrastructure. 

    Kind regards,
    Michelle 


  • Share Wholly owned electric passenger vehicles are an answer to our woes, but not THE answer.

    Good afternoon, 

    Thank you for your question.

    Nail on the head! Electric vehicles and micromobility are means to reduce GHGs from urban transportation, not ends in themselves. Our goal is to cut emissions, and we emphasized this in the consultant's strategy brief.

    Electric cars are part of that solution to the extent that they replace internal-combustion car trips that can't reasonably be made other than by car. Meanwhile, electric micromobility is useful to the extent that it enables low- or zero-emissions travel for trips that aren't suited to transit, biking or walking. 

    Ultimately, reducing our carbon emissions depends on reducing dependency on internal-combustion private automobiles. The value of electric cars and micromobility devices is in how they work alongside more conventional active transport modes to create alternatives to driving an internal-combustion car, where each alternative is deployed for the kinds of trips for which it is best suited.

    Kind regards,
    Tim
