Slowly getting better. But they need a significant breakthrough in technology before they will really be ready to be workhorses.
To say nothing of the improvements that will be needed in the electrical grid and the technology used to put energy into that grid.
Making the trip up or down the Alaska Highway today with a diesel powered vehicle can be "challenging" due to the spacing of diesel fueling stations, especially for those who never learned about "driving on the top half of the tank". And that's during the summer tourist season - making the trip in the winter is even harder as many stations are closed then.
Yep. Done that.
I took a look at BC hydros map though. Looks pretty comprehensive. It’s kind of a 30 month projection. Kinda hard to count on a little map but I would say probably 40 fast chargers locations connecting 16 to both the Yukon side and the Alaska side. That’s not including what the Yukon has already installed and will be installing to meet them. Big project. Not much info on what they are using for chargers. I would think they”ll start with the 50 KW units and upgrade to a 100 or 150’s later.
I’ll try and put the map up later.
Jmho.
