I have had a couple of close calls when walking, with cars driving the wrong way up there and hammering the accelerator. The City has totally failed on any real traffic control. Hard to fault staff IMO, mayor and council has slashed the budget pretty hard.

In these budget strapped times this feels like an easy one to bring in, if government wants to. There are many examples where it works.

Progress within a bureaucracy. It depends on people like us. People that want to make the change. Good luck!

Some free EV charging while stopping for an appointment? Love to see it! I think it is mostly put in for people there for the whole day, but I will take a couple hours of free charging when I can get it.

Oil companies simply aren’t well suited to EV charging. The ‘build it and they will come’ approach is becoming less and less effective.

In both mobility and heating electricity is beating hydrogen by a long shot.

Great thread on how BC and other large hydro provinces make money even when they import more power than they export. In BC, large hydro dams can respond to price signals in about a minute. Compare that with fossil generation and nuclear, that is lightning fast.

We toured the factory on a road trip. Also the tillamook factory. Both pretty great, but the jelly belly factory had more whimsy.

The Tumbler Ridge newspaper puts it better than I could

It seems money could not buy them happiness.

The City of Vancouver moved away from Chargepoint because their maintenance was so poor & slow. Locally the Tesla installs are great and the electrical utility BC Hydro installs are pretty solid too. The 3rd party ones are pretty hit and miss.
