Your Gas Money Isn’t Staying Here

From Electric Vehicle Society. Where does your gas money actually go? In Canada, roughly 80% of what you spend at the pump is tied to imported oil and global fuel markets. That means most of those dollars leave the country. Electricity works differently. It’s generated here. Delivered here. Paid for here — through Canadian utilities…

Where Gas Money Actually Goes

Gas Is Subsidized Too

From Electric Vehicle Society. #gasprices #Subsidies #energyeconomics People often say electric vehicles wouldn’t sell without subsidies.

Thoughtful discussion welcome.

EV Competition Ramps Up

From Electric Vehicle Society. North America’s auto industry is falling behind on EVs—and protection may be making the problem worse, not better. While global competitors invested early in electric vehicle technology, battery manufacturing, and software, much of the North American industry stayed focused on gasoline vehicles longer — because they were profitable. Now the gap…

Are Hybrids the Best Choice?

From Electric Vehicle Society. Choosing between a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is one of the most common questions Canadian drivers ask. In this quick explainer, I break down why plug-in hybrids feel like the safe choice — but for many real-world drivers, they are already falling behind. This short looks at…
