Hydro One which provides the electricity in Ottawa outside of Toronto and Ottawa does not provide charging stations, but they do have a special rate for public ones if a company wants to install any.
Hydro Ottawa helpfully has a map provided by Plugshare on its website.
Doug Ford is placated by utilities not spending money for the convenience of EV drivers whose cars were not built by Ontario autoworkers.

@Sanderde@mstdn.ca the network in Ontario wasn't terrible in 2022 and there are a lot of "coming soon" spots in plugshare, so that's good but it's pretty clear the advantage provinces with public utilities have. The surprise for me was Manitoba. Nothing from Manitoba Hydro in 2022. Perhaps that will change under Kinew's leadership.
