    We all knew and expected government EV rebate and incentive programs would end, but is now a good time to expect electric vehicles to stand on their own against less-expensive ICE vehicles? To get some perspective on this, and on other issues facing Canada's automotive industry — and as you know there are many — Global Automakers of Canada CEO and president David Adams provides some great insights into where the EV segment is going in Canada, what needs to be done to keep the adoption momentum going, and of course, tariffs.

    One couldn't fault Toyota for feeling a little smug these days, as they are reaping the benefits — or at least not suffering as other automakers — of not pushing all their chips into the all-electric vehicle pot. They certainly took a lot of heat these past few years for not pivoting quicker to build and sell EVs, but now that wait-and-see attitude seems to be paying off. On this episode of our special View from the C-Suite podcast series, Toyota Canada President and CEO Cyril Dimitris sits down to talk about how the company plans to keep its very strong electrified vehicle sales in 2024 going through 2025 and beyond. One of many success stories is the all-electric Toyota BZ4x, which will soon be available in provinces besides B.C. and Quebec, where it has been on sale for a year.

    Ford of Canada sells three all-electric vehicles, the F-150 Lightning pickup truck, the E-Transit cargo van and the Mustang March-E, the latter of which outsold it's gasoline powered stablemates three-to- one in 2024.  That all contributed to a fantastic sales year last year for Ford's EV segment, posting an amazing 66.1 per cent increase. On this episode of our special View from the C-Suite series, Andrew McCredie talks with Paul Roy, the man who oversees Ford of Canada's Model e program.  Among many talking points, Paul cites the federal and provincial incentives, that have been paused, as integral to maintaining an upward trajectory of EV sales in this country. Without them, he expects sales to dip in the coming year, but has no doubt that electric vehicles will continue to find new buyers across the country. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Way back in 2019, Volvo committed to building nothing but ‘electrified' vehicles by 2022, and hit that mark with a mix of mild-hybrids, hybrids, plug-in hybrids and full electric vehicles. The global brand also laid out plans to build nothing but vehicles with a plug by 2023, but last year adjusted that to 90 per cent with the remaining 10 per cent to consist of mild hybrid models. On this episode of our special View from the C-Suite podcast series, Volvo Canada managing director Matt Girgis joins us to talk about the brand's strong EV sales in 2024 and how they plan to build on that momentum despite EV incentives going away.

    Battery degradation. Like range anxiety, charging infrastructure and cold-weather running, how long a new electric vehicle's battery will last is one of the very real concerns would-be, first-time EV buyers have when considering to go all-electric. Battery degradation is a big deal. No one wants to see their range go from say, 400 kilometres to 300 kilometres during the life of their vehicle.

    S09EP01 – Meeting Federal EV sales targets is unlikely

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 2, 2024 37:24


    One of the more contentious issues surrounding electric vehicles in Canada are so-called ZEV mandates, which sets target dates for EV sales. Several provinces have such mandates, including British Columbia and Quebec, but it is the federal government mandate that has really puts stakes in the ground.  As a reminder, Canada's zero emission vehicle mandate requires automakers ensure that 20 per cent in 2026, 60 per cent in 2030 and 100 per cent in 2035 of their vehicles sold in Canada are ZEVs. The PBO report set out to find if other words are these ZEV targets are realistic.  The short answer, according to the report findings, is they are not. To discuss this and other issues — including Chinese EVs — is Global Automakers of Canada president David Adams, an industry expert specializes in analyzing the disruption and evolution of both the automobile and the automotive industry in Canada. That includes zero emission vehicles and their adoption as well as the regulatory environment necessary to support the adoption of automated and connected vehicles. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Just as electric vehicles are seen as a sustainable solution to the world's transportation needs, solar energy is considered essential to achieving our planet's clean energy needs.  Which makes the combination of the two seem only natural. That's certainly what GoSun founder and CEO Patrick Sherwin thought, and the result is a clever, roof-mounted and expandable solar power panel that plugs directly into the vehicle that is carrying it.  It's an obvious solution for off-grid camping, van lifers and work sites, but it's also an elegant solution of using the sun's rays to charge up your car's battery pack.

    User-case is a term often associated with electric vehicles, as while some people's needs and requirements of a vehicle can be perfectly suited to an EV, others will find major shortfalls in going all-electric.  The same is true for heavy trucks and buses, and one of the clear winning user cases for an EV bus is the variety that picks up and drops off school children. To prove that point, Ontario-based Pollution Probe teamed with several partners on the Calgary Electric School Bus Pilot Program.  The eight-month, real-world test saw an all-electric Blue Bird bus do daily routine routes for a number of months in Calgary. Most importantly, many of those school days were in the depths of a Prairie winter, so the findings are relevant for many school districts across Canada. Our guest on today's Plugged In podcast is Cedric Smith, Pollution Probe's director of transportation and one of the key players in the pilot program. Learn more about your ad choices.
