Justin Trudeau's plan was to install 40,000 public #EV charging stations in #Canada every year to help us meet our 2035 zero emission targets.

@atomicker 40 000 a year is ridiculous. Maybe that number in total makes sense as a publicly funded commitment but even so. There are 11 000 gas stations in Canada.

2024: Supporting Canada's transition to EVs "will require the installation of, on average, 40,000 public ports each year between 2025 and 2040".
Adding 8,000 ports in 2026 doesn't even come close to what we actually need.

@atomicker The bar graph at the link shows 275 000 public ports needed by 2040. Starting from none, that would be a bit more than 18 000 per year.

"Under our baseline scenario, this will require about 679,000 public charging ports (a mix of Level 2 [L2] and direct current fast charging [DCFC]) across the country in 2040, or one port for every 31 light-duty EVs (Figure ES 1). This will require the installation of, on average, 40,000 public ports each year between 2025 and 2040, on top of the nearly 30,000 public ports currently available or planned in Canada."

@atomicker I see. The first graph is light duty and second heavy duty. Call me surprised that we need so many but we do have a ridiculous number of private personal vehicles.
