Make us buy them harder, daddy: Cabinet is far short of its target to build electric auto charging stations despite more than a billion in subsidies, says a federal audit. The report warned even if successful there was “no evidence” that financing a national network at taxpayers’ expense would lower emissions: ‘Government involvement is necessary to address market failure.’
Government CAUSES market failure.
Out of curiosity, who or what has to get involved to address government failure?
An honest question for those outdoor EV chargers up there in the great white north … are the window defrosters operable while charging the vehicle? The passenger heaters? What happens when charging in a snowstorm, or below zero temps?
And if operating these systems during recharging … how much time does that add to the charging cycle?
Kenji the EV remains on while charging and all systems are operational.
Obviously the more juice u burn while charging the slower the charge to full will be.
So u can stay warm and keep the windows defrosted and run the wipers etc
I would never own an EV in Canada …. as my son loves to joke “electric cars are California vehicles” …. we get too many days (weeks) of -25 C when it is colder than a witches tit and exposed flesh is frozen in minutes …. perfect skiing weather 😉 Ha Ha my dad used to joke “we get 9 months of winter & 3 months of poor sledding”.
Better skiing than here in CA where all we get is the Sierra cement. Heavy wet snow that freezes to a lovely iced surface.
Shocking…
When they said our hero would arrive riding a white charger, frankly, I had no idea…
