I don't know. I haven't seen any studies that have looked at that individual cost, but you raise a good point. I talked about the extra amount of electricity that would be required if all of Canada's personal vehicle fleet was transformed to an electric mode. That's daunting. As you mentioned, it would be 19 Site C dams at a cost of $16 billion each. That project was announced in 2010 and it's almost completed now, 15 years later and after a lot of money was spent. That's probably the easiest part of the challenge.
The much more difficult part of the challenge is building transmission lines to move that additional electricity, building the transformers in individual neighbourhoods—no one wants one close to where they live—and then upgrading the distribution system into apartment buildings and older dwellings so that people can charge their vehicles overnight at the same time. That represents a much more daunting task than building 19 more Site C dams.
