EVs and EV Infrastructure
Driving down emissions with electric school buses
Transitioning to cleaner alternatives such as electric school buses would mean cutting out more than four million tons of carbon dioxide from our emissions every year.
The electric-vehicle era is just getting rolling
Canada is going electric by producing critical minerals and cutting-edge batteries, re-tooling passenger vehicle plants, manufacturing electric vehicles, and much more.
Canada has all the resources and tools we need to benefit from a clean and green economy
We only lack the political will to remove jurisdictional obstacles that hold us back from ensuring that Canada’s electricity grid is smart and integrated.
Will we beat the clock to achieve our zero-emission vehicle adoption goals?
All of us are in uncharted territory, but the known obstacles represent some real challenges to hitting the zero-emission vehicle targets.
The true cost of gas-powered medium- and heavy-duty vehicles
Diesel-powered MHDVs are a disproportionately large contributor to traffic-related air pollution, which contributes to 1,200 premature deaths annually.
EV sales regulation sets Canadians up for failure
Instead of regulating what vehicles Canadians buy, time and resources would be better spent regulating the availability and reliability of Canada’s charging network.
Charging, range anxiety, and price still barriers to mass EV adoption—but there are potential solutions
The things holding back a lot of people from taking the EV plunge are a mix of real problems and lingering myths.
Expanded electric capacity to handle EVs must be taken seriously, say experts
Annual increases in electricity demand from expanded use of EVs could require the equivalent of 10 new mega hydro dams or 13 large natural gas plants, according a recent Fraser Institute study.
Canada’s system of supply management: an innovative, modern solution
A recent survey by Abacus Data confirmed 97 per cent of Canadians feel it’s important that Canada has strong domestic food supply chains. For eggs, this simply would not be possible without supply management.
