What you really need to know about EVs
Raymond Leury
Hi John,
Great work! Thanks for the shout out to EVCO.
One thing to note is that the levers that control the policies that will drive EV adoption rest in great part with provincial and municipal governments. Ontario has slowed our progress considerably when they removed the requirement that new builds be EV ready in 2018 when the Ford government took power. That means that tens of thousands of people don’t have access to home charging which is by far the best way to recharge an EV. They also removed the purchase incentive which was the most generous in the country. If you look at what has happened in Québec and BC, provincial governments have been critical in deploying measures to drive adoption and we see that in adoption numbers which are much higher.
Also note that municipal governments have a great role to play. In BC it is municipalities that require new builds to be EV ready. In Ottawa, always on the vanguard of environmental action (sarcasm), they are proposing to water down the proposed requirement for EV ready parking spots in new builds on the advice of…Hydro Ottawa. Hydro Ottawa should be doing everything it can to increase electricity use as that is in their interest, but for some reason they fail to see the possibilities.
Thanks,
Raymond
