Yep, I was at our local CTC yesterday, and saw a couple of mustangs being charged up. The weird thing to me was that it was snowing and blowing out, and the occupants of both vehicles were standing outside by their vehicles, with their kids. Is there some kind of safety issue that you cann,t be in your vehicle while it is charging, while you are on a trip somewhere ? I would hate to be caught in a snowstorm out on a freeway and not have enough juice left to be able to stay warm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcticCrusher Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The fellow said his trip to Saskatoon from Kelowna takes about 3 times longer for charging time (sitting time). His charges today were about $100 and two hours of sitting with heaters on and the battery was only 2/3 charged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hit -35 and pushing a crazy nasty wind from the NW. Wind chills were in the -50’s while my typical range did drop a little, I just thought thank the lord Jesus I’m not in a stupid fucking electric car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canadian government has passed Bill C-30, which expands tax support for business investment in electric vehicles. Small business owners can write off 100% of the purchase price of the eligible ZEV up to a maximum of $55,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticCrusher Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 One ev charger @+300 kwh is about 260 homes. 6 chargers is over 1000 homes. You do the math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
