The EV Discovery Tour is a wrap! Our tour team covered 2300 km of Central and Northern BC emitting only 0.6% of the GHG emissions that an equivalent internal combustion engine would have on the same trip.

Watch for Charge North installations starting this September!

A lot of people are surprised at how cheap it is to charge at home. It makes things like your daily commute hidden opportunity to save big. Hear Andrew’s experience switching to an EV:

“We were thinking of going electric, now that we know what a cost savings (fuel and maintenance) it is, we’re sold.”

It’s scorching hot out there, but we know vehicles have to hold their own in a northern climate, and lots of folks are asking us about how EVs handle BC winters. Here’s some facts about how EVs perform in the winter conditions:

Today our tour team is off to Burns Lake and Houston! Both of these communities are receiving Level 2 Charging Stations as a part of the Charge North network.

You can learn more about how Level 2 stations are a win-win in this video: https://t.co/tpieH2wiw1

“We’ve had no issues finding charging for our Kona in the north, this network will make it even easier.” Thea & Joe

Thanks to the Auto Extrication Team at Prince George Fire Rescue for chatting all things electrification today! We had fun learning how they engage with electric equipment and vehicles and seeing more of the inner workings of the Mach-E.

Overheard today in 100 Mile.“Very cool to checkout so many EVs at once, we like them all!”

Top 2 questions we are hearing: "Cost to charge? How long to charge?"
What's your experience, EV drivers?
The next two stops on the EV Discovery Tour are Quesnel this evening, on to Prince George tomorrow, and then Vanderhoof! Sign up for a test drive at https://t.co/KE2WDZvGL0
