This situation differs from Provence to Provence. First and foremost, EV,s are not practical for New Brunswick. The Provencial government is putting the horse before the cart. We simply do not have the infrastructure in place to support all the extra energy required. In New Brunswick, we do not have enough electricity generation to support the existing homes during the cold winter months and our Government has decided to promote EV'S. Sorry folks, the decision makers are not exercising common sense. I had a conversation with a liberal a few weeks ago. He tried to convince me that EVs take very little energy, if that is true, why is NB Power requiring new homes to have 400 amp entrances instead of the conventional 200 amp entrances.???? I was told by NB Power that a 400 amp entrance was required to support two EVs per household.
Even moving around in the event of an emergency. If the power is down, you are stuck at home if you have any EV that is low on charge. If you have a gas vehicle, you can still get around.
Electricity is not easy to store but gasoline can be easily stored in containers for emergency purposes. I know of a few fuel stations that have generators to allow them to continue with fuel sales if the power is down.
If the Government can get people to convert to EVs, they will have full control as they will control the energy that the vehicle requires for movement.
Not a good idea.
I will stick with my old Powerstroke until I have no choice.
Never, never, never will I ever purchase an EV, especially when it is imposed on one by the misfit Liberal government
Me neither and for the same reason as you! No way!!!!
