Electric car owners are expected to be able to plug in at the Tim Hortons on Colborne Road in the coming months.

The 1399 Colborne Rd. location in Sarnia is one of 250 where Ontario's Ministry of Transportation announced Wednesday that 500 electric vehicle charging stations will be built.

The ministry said in a press release it is working with 24 public and private-sector partners, including Tim Hortons, to create a network of public charging stations across the province.

Ontario is providing $20 million for the network of charging stations, expected to be in service by the end of next March.

The Colborne Road Tim Hortons is scheduled to have one level three, or direct current fast charger, station.

According to the ministry, level three stations use a 480-volt system and can charge a vehicle to 80 per cent in about 30 minutes.

They took the company from start up to over $400,000 in sales in five years. That was a lot of parts since the parts sold for only five cents per each. In 1985 they sold the company to one of their customers.
