From the Ministry of Transportation website:
EVCO charging stations will be installed at a wide variety of locations, including McDonalds and Tim Horton's restaurants, IKEA parking lots, Pearson International Airport, and at numerous municipal properties and businesses across Ontario.  The specific location of each station can be found on the map above or by visiting the Ontario 511 Traveller Information Service.
EVCO was an application-based program that launched in December 2015. Applications were accepted until February 2016. The program received an overwhelming number of applications (over 200) where applicants identified what they felt were good locations for electric vehicle charging stations.  The most competitive applications were chosen to create an optimal network of electric vehicle charging stations to support both city to city and in-city travel.  Through the evaluation process, the appropriateness of the sites and the number of stations per site were carefully considered, with a focus on the connectivity of the network.
The Level 3 charging station locations are generally strategically placed (e.g. near highways) to promote inter-city travel where cars can get up to 80% charge within 20 to 30 minutes.
The Level 2 charging station locations are generally strategically placed at locations close to major trip attractors and workplaces to promote in-city travel and charging for people who plan to spend more time at a given location.
The use of all EVCO charging stations will be carefully monitored going forward.  This will help the province better understand if there are service gaps or areas where the charging stations are over-capacity or underutilized. 
The station location data will also be posted on the Ontario Open Data Catalogue.  This initiative supports government efficiency, effectiveness, and innovation.  By making this data freely and widely available, members of the public, app developers, and organizations that support travelers (e.g., Google, Canadian Automobile Association) will find innovative ways to leverage this data to enable electric vehicle drivers to find electric vehicle charging stations on their smartphones, tablets, or even in-car navigation systems.
Transportation emissions in Ontario pose one of the province's greatest challenges in achieving the government’s GHG emission reduction targets.  Building the EVCO network is helping electric vehicle drivers contribute to tackling this challenge every time they plug in.
