Canada needs to boost its charging infrastructure and tackle \u0027range anxiety\u0027 to encourage more people to buy EVs, study says. Read more.
This “gap” between Canada and the world is closing, Jennifer Rogers, EY Canada’s National Automotive and Transportation Leader said, but the nation’s progress as far as EVs are concerned has been a “little bit slow,” which could primarily be because Canadians are still not confident enough to travel long distances in an EV — or range anxiety.
Light-duty vehicles, such as passenger cars, SUVs and light trucks, account for about half of Canada’s emissions from the transportation sector, according to government data. To meet Canada’s goal of, the government is forcing the car industry to only sell zero-emission vehicles, such as EVs, by 2035.
New zero-emission vehicles made up 8.6 per cent of all new motor vehicles registered in the first quarter of 2023, which is an increase of about one percentage point from the first quarter of 2022, but a decline from the fourth quarter when it was 9.6 per cent.Article content People are “anxious” about access to charging outside of their homes, Rogers said. “The public charging infrastructure is still relatively light within Canada.”The situation may be worse for people who live in multi-storeyed apartments that don’t have access to chargers, she added. This could play a part in creating range anxiety.
In July, seven major automakers including General Motors Co., Bayerische Motoren Werke AG and Honda Motor Co. Ltd., said they were joining forces to build a large North American EV charging network. Rogers said such announcements help drive positive EV sentiment, but the government needs to ensure there’s a “continuous focus” on improving charging infrastructure.
