Do you see yourself in the graph set out below?
Burlington Hydro set out the number of EVs currently in use – determined by registration data by forward sortation area (FSA – part of your postal code) published by Ontario’s Ministry of Transportation,14 and current market share is derived from historical sales data.
Light-duty vehicle energy consumption was estimated based on vehicle population data from Statistics Canada, vehicle kilometers travelled data from the Transportation Tomorrow Survey,and a vehicle efficiency assumption consistent with forecasts. Total electricity demand from medium-and-heavy- duty vehicles is assumed to be 5% of electricity demand from light-duty vehicles, which is consistent with the assumption used for electric mobility other than light-duty vehicles.
The forecast also includes gradual conversion of Burlington Transit’s fleet of buses to electric at the same pace as other medium-and-heavy-duty vehicles, and a greater number of buses per capita to support an increasing mode share for transit.
Might be interested in EV’s from China have Canada’s 100% tariff removed.
Not a fan of EV. Certainly not for public utility vehicles; charging stations are scarce, fiery explosions occur, putting public in danger, batteries are not only costly but terrible for our environment…..not to mention the children that are put at risk mining them in third world Countries.
