The home furnishings retailer says it is installing charging stations for electric vehicles at all 12 of its stores across Canada.

Charging will be available at no cost to customers on a first-come, first-served basis.

Ikea Canada president Stefan Sjostrand says the project reinforces the company's commitment to sustainability.
