Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park Introduces EV Chargers – FLO SmartTWO 

Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park in British Columbia’s Capital Regional District (CRD) now features FLO SmartTWO electric vehicle chargers. Park visitors can charge their EVs while enjoying the park’s lakes, trails, picnic areas, and Nature Center. 

Two FLO SmartTWO Level 2 chargers are installed in the park’s parking lot and are available to both the public and the CRD Regional Parks EV fleet during maintenance operations. 

The chargers are accessible from sunrise to sunset. EV drivers can charge their vehicles using a FLO account and the FLO app at a rate of $1 per hour, with a 3-hour charging limit. 

The CRD serves 13 municipalities and three electoral areas across southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, providing regional, sub-regional, and local services. 

“In 2023, 22% of new car sales in BC were electric vehicles – the highest per capita in North America. Adding EV chargers in high-visitation regional parks is a priority identified in the CRD Regional Parks & Trails Strategic Plan 2022–2032 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions is also a CRD 2023–2026 Board Priority,” stated the CRD in an announcement. 

The new chargers at Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park join eight other publicly available FLO EV chargers already installed at CRD recreation centers and more than 60 EV chargers for electric CRD fleet vehicles at worksites across the region.
