To that particular question, obviously I agree with Brian Kingston. We do need more infrastructure to make sure that Canadians can go across the country from sea to shining sea in an electric vehicle.
The issue regarding infrastructure is something that can be addressed quite easily, especially in rural areas. I live in the country. I don't have any issue in Quebec with infrastructure. B.C., Quebec and some regions of Atlantic Canada are ahead of the curve. The other provinces could be inspired by what's happening within those provinces. To say that it's hard to travel when you live in the country, actually it's a bit harder when you own an electric vehicle and you live in downtown Toronto or downtown Calgary and you don't have access to a charger because you live in a condo building or apartment building, MURBs we call them. This is another target and challenge that we address and which we spoke to the federal government about.
A lot has to do with education as well. Yes to infrastructure, yes to rebates, but education is key, because I'm hearing a lot of comments from people saying, “Well, we live in Canada and it's really hard to travel in an electric vehicle.” As I said, I just travelled 630 kilometres across Ontario and Quebec in an EV, which is not a Tesla by the way, with a family and a dog. The technology is evolving really quickly. Ten years ago the average EV had 120 kilometres of range. Now we're between 400 and 500 kilometres and it's going up and up as the price is going down as well. The technology is evolving a lot more quickly than people think.
