EV Charging Stations Available

Located at the West Lake comfort station, Sandbanks has one commercial electric charging station with one port (meaning one vehicle can charge at a time). Available only during April 1 to November 1. Brand is EVR-Green 4000 Leviton EV Charging.

One port, one vehicle at a time, April through November. The Leviton EVR-Green 4000 charger at the West Lake comfort station in Sandbanks Provincial Park near Picton, Ontario is modest but real. Sandbanks is famous for its massive baymouth sand dunes on Lake Ontario, the largest in the world, and it fills up fast in summer. When that single port is taken, Picton also has public DC fast charging from FLO. Prince Edward County put two 100 kW FLO units in Picton's King Street lot in 2025, roughly 15 minutes from the park by car. Beyond that, the next option is Belleville, roughly 19 miles out, with EV Connect, FLO, Tesla Supercharger, and others. Trenton is another option at roughly 23 miles, with Tesla Supercharger and FLO. One charger for one of Ontario's most popular parks means plan accordingly: arrive early, or treat downtown Picton as the backup.
