Canada's national incentives program—and a national policy more consistently supportive of battery electric vehicles (#BEVs)—all contribute to EV adoption. However, provincial-level incentives also seem to drive regional adoption, with Quebec consistently accounting for most EV registrations in #Canada.

Another great report from Rebecca Brewster and the good people at ATRI. I know several fleets that run renewable diesel and they love it. It makes a lot of sense for a lot of fleets in ways that battery electric never will. There's considerations not listed here that DPF clogging/regens are basically non-existent and the cleaner combustion cycle leaves the engine oil cleaner for longer, allowing for longer drain intervals. https://lnkd.in/ew7VqPRE

🌟 The EV Revolution: A Global Push for Sustainability 🚗⚡ The momentum behind electric vehicles (EVs) has never been stronger. Governments worldwide, including Canada, are enacting legislation to phase out internal combustion engines, while automakers commit to 100% EV production in the coming years. This massive push is fueling demand for lithium—a critical resource for EV batteries. As these commitments grow, we're witnessing a pivotal moment for clean energy innovation and sustainability. 🌍🔋 What do you think about the timeline for full EV adoption? #EVs #ElectricVehicles #CleanEnergy #Sustainability #Lithium

Q224 ZEVs made up 12.9% of all new motor vehicle registrations in 🇨🇦(🆙 37.9% from the same period last year). 65,733 new ZEVs registered, >51% in Quebec, likely owing to big demand prior to incentive reductions. Great timing to discuss how we get to the next level at the Electric Mobility Canada EVVE conference in Halifax. https://lnkd.in/gAUcFyu6

ICYMI: Canadian zero-emission vehicle adoption hit an all-time high in Q3 2024 with S&P Global Mobility data showing battery-electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles made up 16.5 per cent of all new vehicle registrations in the quarter. “This means that [in Q3 2024] approximately 1 in every 6 new cars registered in Canada was a ZEV,” reads the report. “This growth reflects a 14.4% increase in overall ZEV volume compared to the previous quarter, driven by a 15.1% rise in BEVs and a 12.4% increase in plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).” S&P predicts the leap — up from 13.4 per cent in the second quarter of this year — puts Canada on track to surpass 15 per cent new zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales for the year. As part of its long-term forecasting, S&P Global is projecting that, were Canada to maintain its current adoption trajectory, the country could reach 25.3 per cent new ZEV sales by the end of 2026 and more than 30 per cent by the end of 2027.

If you are in Ottawa Canada and wants some incentives for helping the grid with your Electric Vehicle, today, we at BluWave-ai are thrilled to announce EV Everywhere mass market availability in Ottawa Canada  in partnership with Hydro Ottawa! https://lnkd.in/gqNBTeVW Over the past year, we've rigorously tested EV Everywhere, making this our major launch in North America. This project is the culmination of our team's dedication and innovation, starting from a simple prototype to a fully realized product. This launch marks the culmination of the last 6 years of development on our BluWave-ai Edge and Center platform. EV Everywhere is a groundbreaking product led by BluWave-ai in collaboration with Hydro Ottawa, backed by IESO and OEB. By harnessing cutting-edge AI technology and real-time data, EV Everywhere seeks to revolutionize the electric vehicle charging experience. With BluWave-ai’s mobile app, users gain insights into their charging habits and can control charging sessions, pausing and resuming as needed. The app recommends ideal charging times based on the availability of renewable energy or lower overall electricity demand. The program will also issue 'GridSmart' (demand response) events, using AI to predict high electricity demand times and automatically pausing EV charging for short periods to help manage electricity use. Users are always notified in advance and can opt-out of any GridSmart event. Over the next year, we plan to enhance our AI platform’s capabilities, including strategic power injection into the grid using FOTM BESS, and further improvements to the app for users. We've presented the concepts of EV Everywhere around North America, most recently in Chicago. It's incredible to see our vision come to life, from ideation to live deployment with real users. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in this journey. Together, we are paving the way for Electric transport displacing more carbon and using more Ontario made renewable energy. Thanks to Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) for supporting this https://lnkd.in/e9duNszk #EVEverywhere #Ottawa #SustainableEnergy #EVCharging #AI #Innovation #CleanTech

Comparative sales of battery electric vehicles VS plug-in hybrids in Quebec. Sales: With 19,243 sales, battery electric vehicles accounted for 77.5% of Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) sales vs. 5,602 plug-in hybrid vehicles (22.5%) in the first quarter of 2024. These figures contradict the assertion by some that sales of battery electric vehicles are declining in favor of plug-in hybrids. Fleet: In terms of the total ZEV fleet, battery electric vehicles continue to grow, accounting for 67.5% of all VZEs on Quebec roads. Source: AVEQ
