Good detailed info on the new large charging site now under construction at Meadows Rec Centre in Edmonton. Unlike past Encore/Epcor L3 Chargers which had time based billing, this will be $/kWh. Wheelchair accessible and pull through trailer stalls. youtu.be/tK_swkhm67w?si…

Canada’s EV demand is surging. StatsCan says total new vehicle sales in March 2026 were down 7% year-over-year, while zero-emission vehicle sales jumped 75%. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…

Yesterday Tesla, today Chery. They. Are. Coming.

The first 'cheap' Chinese EVs are here. Tesla Model 3 now available at a much lower price than previously. @TOCAlberta

Ultra-fast charging is coming to Edmonton's Meadows Rec Centre. @EncorbyEPCOR uses DERMS to coordinate high-power EV chargers with the grid. That means faster charging while helping utilities balance demand as EV adoption grows. epcor.com/ca/en/ab/edmon…

A Tesla can cost you ~70% less than what you spend on fuel in a comparable gas car Internal combustion engines convert only 20-30% of fuel energy to motion, with 70%+ lost as heat. In comparison, EVs convert 85–90% of battery energy into motion, so you need far less energy to go the same distance

Significant increase in sales in February, but we are more interested in seeing the numbers for March and April, with the EVAP in full effect and the increase in fuel prices.

Today is the last day of the Edmonton Motorshow/Auto Experience. Be sure to stop by our booth and say hello. Our attendee count Saturday alone exceeded total attendance last year. Interest in EVs is increasing, due in part to high fuel prices and the return of the EV incentive.

@AngDean23 @DriveTeslaca @Tesla @TOCAlberta The Cybertruck, UofA electric racing project car, Leaf and Ioniq 9 are all helping us attract thousands of attendees. High gas prices and the return of the EV incentive are top of mind for the people talking to us.

@DriveTeslaca @Tesla We also have a Cybertruck at the @TOCAlberta & @PluginAlberta booth at the same show and it’s definitely drawing crowds!

NEWS: @Tesla is at the Edmonton Motor Show this weekend at the Edmonton Expo Center. On display is the new Model Y Performance, Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive, Model Y Premium, and Cybertruck. Test drives of the Model Y and Model Y Performance are also available. 📸: Howell C

Oh my, what’s the date again? Lol…

First BYD in Canada??!! facebook.com/share/p/1AcpUv…

@PluginAlberta Might be painful when something breaks on it.

@1Cronos2020 @cordes_ron @PaulTheActor Sorry, even when we asked you to remind us of the bet, you couldn't be bothered to link to it. So we can't be bothered to 'scroll further'.

@PluginAlberta @cordes_ron @PaulTheActor Scroll further! My comment was that government intervention (mandates) should not be considered a factor. Well, these days the government stepped back from Forcing automakers to sell predominantly EV. That was my comment. No matter how you twist it, you will lose!

A friend of mine just said about the EV tax: "I wonder if Danielle Smith has an offshore bank account for all the money the O&G companies are giving her to destroy renewable resource development in Alberta?" I'm trying hard not to believe that... #DanielleSmithIsUnfitToLead

@1Cronos2020 @cordes_ron @PaulTheActor x.com/pluginalberta/… 🤷

@PluginAlberta @cordes_ron @PaulTheActor First, congrats for remembering, vaguely but remember! You can search your records, 2022. You said something about a high percentage of EV that will be sold in Canada by 2027. I disagreed because reality was not on your side, too many real world problems. Our bet➡️a case of beer

@1Cronos2020 @TOCAlberta Oh we fully support driving vehicles, ICE/EV/whatever for as long as they last, that is almost always the way to leave the smallest footprint behind. Glad your ICE has treated you well. But you not agreeing with multiple studies, out of spite, is of no particular interests to us.

@PluginAlberta @TOCAlberta I don’t t agree! I still drive a 1998 ICE car that doesn’t use so many hard to find materials. Same low gas mileage, unrestricted driving range (charging stations). The carbon footprint of this car is unbeatable. 2027 is the deadline of our bet & it looks like you loose epically

We've updated our Emissions and EV/ICE Comparison tool. Some EV owners are happily charging via solar. For everyone else, charging at home is still substantially cheaper than paying for fuel. Just one of many tools we offer on our website. thegrid.albertaev.ca @TOCAlberta

@1Cronos2020 @cordes_ron @PaulTheActor Ah, your reply today triggered a 'isn't that username familiar'. This is why. Care to remind us of what bet you are referring to?

@PluginAlberta @cordes_ron @PaulTheActor Deadline for our bet regarding the EV adoption is approaching fast and you’re at the losing end! How’s your data doing these days? I smile every time when I think of your determination and willingness to defy my point of view even though reality was on my side

@1Cronos2020 @TOCAlberta Yep, it takes material to build anything. EVs just happen to be a much better use of those initial materials…

@PluginAlberta @TOCAlberta Also, important to know
