@AshleyFitzNL PEI has six fast chargers, of which one is only for Teslas. NL has 33 fast chargers, with more coming. The remaining “ports” are Level 2, which anyone can install at their home or business and make available on PlugShare. NL is actually in pretty good shape.

Check out those charging port numbers (and tempted to ask more about what's included/where they're from). But Wooo-eee. Consider the geography of PEI and the geography of NL. That's too funny.

23 days and 8800km after leaving Victoria BC, @DriveElectricNL's Jon Seary dips his tires into the Atlantic this morning at Quidi Vidi. An all-electric, cross-country, Canadian first.

@ClydeRo67760084 @TedBlades We were not trying to set a speed record, we were meeting with EV groups and presenting to various groups across the country. Why not celebrate an alternative to expensive gas?

@TedBlades @DriveElectricNL 23 days to travel 8800Km that’s 382.6 km a day appointment driving 4 to 4 1/2 plus hour to eat , leaving 20 hours to charge , taking into account hotels . Drive in a gas vehicle 6 days 800 litres of gas 6 hotels , do the math. 6 hotels at $200 = 1200 vs 23 hotels at 200 = $4600

@AaronAdamack @TedBlades We were meeting up with EV owners, doing presentations, etc, on the way. Not trying for a speed record, but keeping it reasonable. No problem finding chargers, but some of the faster ones could work better.

@DriveElectricNL @TedBlades Was the longer time because of longer charging times for the truck and a bit longer route or were you just not in a rush? Also, how was it for getting access to chargers? Were there long waits or was it pretty easy with it not being peak tourist season?

@AaronAdamack @TedBlades Oh, we actually were 8200 Km; Harvey and Kent from the article likely optimized their route a bit to achieve the speed record.

What's better than witnessing the arrival of the 1st crossing of Canada in a Ford F-150 Lightning? @DriveElectricNL's Jon Seary making us celebratory cups of coffee using his truck-powered espresso machine! This morning in Quidi Vidi.

EVs don't just increase electricity demand - they can help manage it when connected to the grid and actually end up a net benefit to electricity supply. @nspowerinc is already testing this...

Interesting to skim the @NLHydro reliability report. An evolving document but two new long term opportunities are missing - grid-connected EVs could be flexible storage to prevent short outages and future green hydrogen plants acting as backups @vocmnews pub.nf.ca/applications/N…

Vale has officially signed a supply deal with electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla, meaning nickel mined at Voisey's Bay in northern Labrador could end up in batteries for the next generation of electric cars cbc.ca/1.6368459
