How soon do you see electric cars taking over in Vancouver?
Will the new $5K BC rebate make a big difference in sales? |
Thanks for the link, I have used plugshare.com in the past to take a look at EV charging facilities (and cost, etc.). I didn't put down $1000 for the new Tesla, but I will be interested around the time it debuts. I "told" my wife our next vehicle will be an EV, so it needs to be something that is capable of road trips, meaning a Model 3 or better. A GM Bolt is a possibility depending on how their quick-charging infrastructure rolls out.
IMO BC is a prime spot for EVs, since we have relatively cheap, clean electricity, and very expensive gas. The $5k rebate helps, I think this incentive for charging station is as important to promoting usage, some details here:
