Off peak charging rates is a thing NOW
When EVs become a larger part of the market say 2035 If 50% of the new cars are EV, the electric companies will know they got you by the short hairs They can change their rates to maximize profit For a normal Household, they can track usage based on load Not charging a 100kwhr battery is one price Charge your EV and put load on the circuit, a different higher price Imagine paying more to charge your EV than paying for gas would be a reality soon in the future |

I guess they will just have to fire up a few dozen more coal fired power plants to help charge all these mandatory electric vehicles.

Why do I get the feeling that the whole EV thing just isn't ready for Prime Time. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business...-dover-calais/

^ The well known term of 'sh*t show' is evident with our clueless leaders and the blinkers will have to come down soon.

I get government can regulate things, but something as big as transportation and individual needs makes it seem that supply and demand will be an issue. Government can force manufacturers to build EV's but it's difficult to force people to buy them. I guess I'm saying that there is a certain percentage of the population who don't care what they drive and they will buy what's available but there is also a significant group that are likely to not want to buy an EV. If car manufactures can't sell them what happens then?

There really is no debate in Canada, once governments let PHEV's in under the legislation them there's no issue, the regulations will be met. It really is that simple.

I suspect that as time goes along the mandates will slip as they can't get the infrastructure and associated approvals in line within a generation. |

I sound like a broken record but, if PHEV's are included the mandates will not slip because one still has a gas back up if you need it.

Including very interesting developments to enable the recycling of EV batteries which as been a bit of an Achilles Heel for EVs to date. Without it we’ll likely hit a limit on batteries realistically. A new plant being built locally to me will have the ability to produce 200K EV batteries a year from said recycling. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...ion-us-backing |

I think people are sensationalizing and overreacting to what some car manufacturers and governments are saying they will be fully EV by 2035 or that you won't be able to buy a NEW ICE car after 2035 in some states.
First and foremost, this does NOT mean every ICE vehicle is being sent to the crusher at midnight on 12/31/34 There will be plenty on ICE vehicles for people to buy for the next 50 years at minimum and probably well past any of our lifetimes....so chill secondly, some act like this is happening tomorrow .... hand wringing about the grid and infrastructure. This is decades away from effecting much of any of that for one and technology moves at the speed of light..Remember cell phones and TV's 20 years ago? We will most likely be flying around in drones by the time time ICE vehicles are actually not being produced anymore. There may very soon be batteries with 600 mile range and much more efficient power sources by 2035 who knows how far along the technology will be, but I'm guessing much further than it is today Worrying about any of it in 2023 is a waste of time |

Maybe a joke but having made a plan to tax and eliminate ice now there is a plan to eliminate tyres and brakes...
Lunacy and policy seem to be going hand in hand. https://www.financialaccountant.co.u...n-on-emissions |
