Talking point: The company hopes to nearly triple the ultra-fast charging network in metro Vancouver and flesh out Western Canada’s rapid-charging network. It said the first 25 charging locations will be ready by the end of this year after announcing plans to buy FreeWire chargers last month (terms of the deal were not disclosed), and the other 25 locations by early 2024. It could be an indicator of what’s to come in the rest of the country, as the Liberal government aims to convert all new passenger vehicle sales to zero emissions by 2035. MP John Aldag said in the press release that B.C. has “the highest electric-vehicle adoption rate in Canada and the entire continent.”
