Description
Market trends alone will likely translate into 20% of vehicles in the region being zero emission by 2030. Under this plan, 50% of remaining vehicles must be converted by 2030. This means our community needs to go faster and farther to electrify vehicles quickly. To support this push, a region-wide electric vehicle strategy should be created that will include partnerships, incentives, public outreach, communication and awareness strategies, and policies. The strategy is to be completed no later than 2024.
A region-wide electric vehicle strategy would be led by a single organization and carried out as a collaboration and community partnership. As of Fall 2023, applications through the NRCan Education and Awareness Project Funding – Clean Transportation and Clean Fuels have been submitted as a means to initiate this project.
