An EV in Saskatchewan currently pays 40% more road tax than an equivalent gas car. Our provincial government is now indexing the EV Road Tax to national inflation. #skpoli @SaskParty @saskndp

Tomorrow night!

This morning the Government of Saskatchewan announced yet another cost increase to EV owners in Saskatchewan. Starting January 1st 2027, electric vehicle drivers, who are subject to the Road Use Charge, will see hikes indexed annually to the national rate of inflation.

Personally, as an EV owner of 8 years, I have no problem paying my fair share. But there is no reason that an EV owner should be paying more road tax than an equivalent gasoline car. Especially since most gas cars and EV's are now very similar in weight.

Next week! @WheatonKia introduces the all new KIA EV4! Take a test drive and learn about why an EV should be your next vehicle. Educational presentations all night long. Check out the details below

Own an EV in Western Canada? Check out this awesome tool created by the EVAA. Sask has a dirty coal-powered grid, but driving an EV is still cleaner than gas/diesel

We have a new tool on our website! We are working hard to increase the list of EVs to choose from. albertaev.ca/map @TOCAlberta @EVSociety @vevabc @PlugN_Drive @saskevca @pluginsask @IslandEV1

SaskPower has signed a power purchase agreement with Mino Giizis Solar Ltd. to build and operate a new 100-megawatt solar facility. Learn more at: saskpower.com/about-us/media…

This surprised me. I wanted to know which vehicle would keep you warm the longest if stranded on the side of the road in winter. I compared a fully fueled 2025 Honda Civic to a fully charged Tesla 3. Turns out the Tesla wins, which is not what I expected. The Civic can idle and provide cabin heat for about 12-25 hours, depending on a few conditions. The Teslas has a cabin heat pump that can provide heat for 30-80 hours. The Tesla wins decisively in efficiency for prolonged idling with heat because the heat pump moves heat rather than generating it wastefully from fuel. In cold-weather scenarios like being stuck or camping with heat on, a fully charged Tesla provides significantly more endurance than a fully fueled 2025 Honda Civic.

Today! Free admission. Test drive an EV and ditch that internal combustion disaster in your driveway

One solar panel of 30 kg replaces 8 tonnes of coal (or 40 barrels of oil) and 25 tonnes of CO2 Let me show you: Every solar panel has a number of wattpeak or Wp, that indicates what it produces in "ideal" (1000W/m2) sunshine conditions. So in ideal conditions it would produce 1W x 8760 hours per hear = 8760 Wh = 8.7 kWh. In reality it's much less of course, if only for the night. The average worldwide and in the US is 1.3 kWh/Wp/y iea-pvps.org/wp-content/upl… So a new 500 W solar panel that is supposed to last 35 years produces 1.3 x 500 x 35 = 22 750 kWh. Coal contains around 8141 kWh / ton, but before you get electricity you lose a lot. BP introduces a factor for that of 2.83. So a ton of coal contains 8141 / 2.83 = 2886 kWh. You need 22750 / 2886 = 7.88 ton to replace a solar panel. Including mining and refining the emissions per kg of coal, gasoline and diesel are all around 3 kg of CO2. (For gas it depends: at least half as bad as coal but for fracking gas it can actually be worse. scijournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/es…) I'm writing this now because I'm just back from a writing holiday and I find a lot of nonsense about how fossil fuel is more efficient in my timeline. Maybe this can serve as a post to refer to when fossil fuel nonsense pollutes your timeline.
