Happening tonight! No fee or registration needed...
Green St Johns@GreenStJohns

A welcome initiative of the @NL_EnviroNet - a good opportunity for advocates and skeptics to meet, discuss and learn from one another about the environmental costs and benefits for NL of this important shift. More conversations on contentious topics to come!

This is coming up for further discussion today. At the earlier meeting, @mmburton asked if some of the installations due in 2026 could be moved forward because she's heard there aren't enough downtown. Staff said they're working on the "unique challenges" of downtown charging.

There's an update in the upcoming @CityofStJohns committee meeting on EV charging progress and future options. They're considering spending $300,000 over four years to build 26 more (faster 19.2kWh) L2 chargers - 30% of the cost would be federally funded pub-stjohns.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?I…

"North American automakers have presented China as a sort of Goliath to their David. But the real Davids—Canadians like the family above—just want an affordable EV to make their life a little easier," write @joannakyriazis and @RachelSDoran. New op-ed🍁👇 thestar.com/opinion/contri…

@Vote4Russell The Cybertruck is bad enough... The e-Hummer has a 205kW battery pack. Charging that from 20-80% on one of our highway chargers would take two hours! Don't want to be stuck behind that 4500kg behemoth at Goobies... x.com/EVsIRL/status/…

EVs have an important role where populations are too spread out to easily serve with transit but the batteries in a @cybertruck could power four (!) @BYDCompany Seagulls - the top-selling non-Tesla BEV globally. What a waste of resources!

@rcbregman @InsideEVs I don't disagree with the broad thrust that Western manufacturers are complacent ( gas guzzlers will always be more profitable while we let them be sold) but I'm disappointed you concentrated on tech and not the key fact Chinese EVs aren't unnecessarily giant!

Journalist spends week in China for Beijing Auto Show, doesn't mince words: “Western automakers are cooked. Your product sucks, compared to what China is putting out now. It doesn’t go as far. It’s not as well-made. It’s not as nice. It’s not as connected.”

Oh for heaven's sake not you too! What about protecting our environment? Making it easier for millions of Canadians to buy better, cheaper vehicles? We're subsidizing our domestic EV supply chain already anyway!
Chrystia Freeland@cafreeland

Protecting Canadian workers is our priority. That’s why Canada is launching a consultation to protect Canadian auto workers and our electric vehicle supply chains from unfair Chinese trade practices.
