EV's future of reality “not feasible” for power grid: study
Need more evidence that politicians are clueless? Please read the whole article and get the REALITY of how power grids work and are loaded and the lack of it in CANADA........ FYI to charge a TESLA you could power a functioning household! That is why you need a seperate charging station and not just a 120v plug.........
So how is that for banning gas powered cars by what 2035? LOL
The analysis, titled Failure to Charge: A Critical Look at Canada’s EV Policy, takes an in-depth look at the federal mandate, which would force the national power grid to produce 15.3% more electricity than it currently does within the next 11 years.
“Canadians need to know just how much additional electricity is going to be required in order to meet Ottawa’s electric vehicle mandate, because its impact on the provinces — and taxpayers and ratepayers — will be significant,” said G. Cornelis van Kooten, the study’s author and a Fraser Institute senior fellow.
In line with the European Union’s mandate to ban the sale of all gas-powered vehicles with EV by 2035, Trudeau plans to do the same in Canada.
As announced in December by Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard will mandate that all new cars and trucks be electric by 2035.
