Transport committee  Okay. Again, as I alluded to, there are a number of different technologies. There are also different applications that they'll be used in. Compressed natural gas, for example, in comparison to propane, has range issues. That doesn't necessarily affect Canada Post in a lot of its

Transport committee  There are a lot. First, I'm not sure who would have told you they would all be electric. Obviously, we don't have—

Transport committee  That's not correct, because our electric fleet is much smaller than that at this time. I don't think we personally need, and I didn't mean to imply that we needed, commercial charging stations. I think that if the industry as a whole were to adopt more electric vehicles, it woul

Transport committee  It's the state of the fuel, that is, its common state.

Transport committee  Yes, with the larger of the ones that we're piloting today.

Transport committee  I don't know if I can say that today, because I don't know that we would fully implement 100% of the Canada Post fleet onto one fuel. I think that would be, maybe, a little bit dangerous to have all of our eggs in one basket like that. Again, because there is no magic bullet answ

Transport committee  We have 14 full-battery electric vehicles, and 23 hybrid electrics.

Transport committee  To be honest, the technology is very new and it's changing as frequently as the technology in our cellphones is. It's about three times as expensive to procure an electric vehicle as it is to buy a conventional gasoline-powered vehicle.

Transport committee  From the total cost of operation documents that we have prepared at Canada Post, at the current time there is no return on investment.

Transport committee  Not at this time.

Transport committee  No. If the capital cost were identical, then absolutely there would be an advantage to operating an electric vehicle over a fossil fuel-powered one. It's the capital cost that's the killer.

Transport committee  We cannot at the current time. It's three times the initial purchase price for the most part.

Transport committee  I think with more public adoption and the ability to have commercial charging facilities, that will change.

Transport committee  Correct, just over 8,300 vehicles.

Transport committee  Without adding up the numbers that I gave, about 150, or maybe a little more.
