Canada’s most populous provinces are falling behind many U.S. states when it comes to building fast charging stations for electric vehicles, a CBC News analysis shows, raising questions about whether this country’s infrastructure is ready for a transition to cleaner energy.
I work in this industry. The number of chargers is set to explode in the next 2 years.
In my city I’ve noticed a few locations in parking lots of big box stores that are being prepped for what looks like a bunch of charging stations.
We recently did a road trip with our plugin hybrid and there were more chargers in reality than showed up in the apps yet.
An equally important number is how many of the installed chargers are functional on any given day.
In my experience, there are a lot offline for days at a time.
We don’t only need to install more, we need to maintain them after install.
