charging in Britain, they couldn’t have predicted how their time in London would end.
Time is of the essence. Earlier this year Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government unveiled a climate plan that aims to force a faster change in the driving habits of Canadians. By 2026, 20 per cent of light-duty vehicle sales in Canada will need to be zero-emissions cars. The sales mandate will rise to 60 per cent in 2030 and to 100 per cent in 2035. Last year, zero-emissions vehicle sales stood at 5.2 per cent of all vehicle sales, up from 3.5 per cent the year prior.
But how people experience charging depends very much on where they live. The majority of Canada’s public charging sites are in large cities, and about 90 per cent are located in B.C., Quebec and Ontario. If you have a driveway, you can install a charger on your property and do most of your charging at home.
There are more than 18,500 public charging ports across roughly 8,000 sites in Canada, according to a recently released report prepared by Mogile Technologies for the federal government. A further 1,000 or so are known to be under construction. The report is based on data sourced from Mogile’s ChargeHub platform, which contains information about the type, status and location of public charging sites across North America.
Tesla, which has its own network with a proprietary connector, has more fast chargers than any other operator. Roughly 40 per cent of the country’s fast chargers are Tesla Superchargers. “Canada is currently failing when it comes to building the necessary infrastructure,” said association president Brian Kingston. The country is vast, he added, with many sparsely populated areas, and it experiences extreme cold, which reduces EV range.
He led Dunsky’s work on a federally commissioned report outlining Canada’s projected EV infrastructure needs. It Ms. Tanguay, his colleague, said it takes between 30 to 36 months from the time a contribution agreement is signed to when a site opens to the public. The latest request-for-proposals, which closes in August, includes multiunit residential buildings. These sites will be key to accelerating EV adoption among today’s garage orphans.
Nned to standardize the charging plugs so it doesn't turn into an Apple accessory fiasco
But Justin promised to plant millions of trees first and that we’d be able to go camping!
Canada wants another federal election.
This is childish fantasy.
Utopia
We do?
How are we charging all these EV's
Canada doesn't want that. China does. EVs make zero sense with the current technology, especially in Canada. China is definitely loving us destroying our country though. 🤡🇨🇦
