The B.C. government is continuing its push to get more drivers behind the wheel of an electric vehicle by recharging it’s $7-million EV charger rebate program.
Here’s another myth about electric vehicles, or EVs for short: We often hear that EVs are not suitable for Canadian drivers because they don’t have the range that we are looking for.
“It was expected and the cost is reasonable,” Grove said as Victoria and Saanich prepare to levy $1-per-hour charges and time limits to users of its stations around the region early in the new year. “There’s a hope that the revenue will help to build out the charging network quicker and offset some of the costs.” Saanich will launch the pay-for-power charge on Jan. 4. The municipality has 75 public EV charging stations. Of those, the district owns and operates 12 Level 2 stations at its four recreation centres, Cedar Hill Golf Course and municipal hall. It plans to build 20 more at municipal facilities, recreation centres and parks.
