The plan aims to boost the number of electric vehicles from about 0.6 per cent now to 5 per cent by 2025, to 20 per cent by 2030 and to 80 per cent by 2040.

Toronto’s proposed electric vehicle (EV) strategy, with 10 “broad actions” to accelerate the switch from gas-guzzlers to zero-emission vehicles gets its first airing Thursday at an infrastructure and environment meeting. A plan to dramatically jump-start Torontonians’ use of electric vehicles is gliding into city hall amid concerns over the city’s financial commitment and the provincial government’s policies.
