In other words “the cart before the horse” (in terms of power generation) is a false argument against adoption of EVs because increasing power generation requires there be incentives for the power companies.
I kinda do. Power companies tend to be reactive instead of preemptive. Or at least some.
I think the other thing to consider is the difference between generating capacity and grid or distribution capacity. The BC hydro website digs into this a bit. Essentially the province doesn’t have a problem with generating capacity. But distribution and grid will adapt in the normal course of maintenance and up keep going forward to adapt to the changing load in neighborhoods etc. They don’t see any issues going forward. I realize that this is not the case everywhere.
It’s interesting that they have submitted a new rate plan to the utilities folks that encourages night time charging. No ideas on the numbers yet but apparently we’ll find out in June.
Cheers.
