Weekly Memo

1. “Le guide pratique de la voiture électrique… et plus !” is coming!

After several months of delay due to COVID, “Le guide pratique de la voiture électrique… et plus !” will be available on Earth Day, April 22. Daniel Breton, CEO of Electric Mobility Canada, is the main author.

For now, the book is in French and we would like to translate it for all Canadians to be able to have access to this very important information. This 265 page book is divided into 3 distinct parts:

  1. The ABC’s of Electric Vehicles

  2. Partial and full electric vehicle tests

  3. Section for informed electromobilists: economy, technologies, environment, jobs, etc. For more information or to place an order, please contact Daniel Breton at daniel.breton@emc-mec.ca.

2. Electric Mobility Canada in the English Media

In this Globe and Mail article, EMC’s CEO is interviewed by Doug Firby on ways to accelerate electric mobility in Canada.

3. Saskatchewan, going against the grain.

…While the vast majority of states are accelerating support for the electrification of transportation, Saskatchewan, Canada’s #1 province for the increase of its GHG emissions (+71% between 1990 and 2018), has just announced a $150 annual tax for the 403 electric vehicles on its territory. This brings to the forefront the question of the obsolescence of the current road financing model.

4. April 19: EMC’s coverage of Canada’s budget!

Next week, EMC’s team will be following the federal budget closely and will get back to you quickly with all the relevant information.

We believe that this may be a very important budget for electric mobility as a part of a resilient recovery plan.

Stay tuned!
