First Nations have long endured infrastructure challenges, from boil-water advisories to fragiles electricity grids to winter-only roads. But that’s not stopping some from looking to pivot to electric vehicles
How often do you have to refill your gas tank? If it’s damn near daily, then your ability to rely on an EV is going to be much more limited than if it’s closer to once or twice a week.
If you have an outlet at home that can be used to charge an EV, and you don’t regularly drive hundreds of miles in a day, an EV is likely a viable replacement for an ICE car. If you do make long distance trips regularly enough for that to be a concern, you will probably be more dependent on the availability of charging infrastructure in your area.
But on the flip side, if you’re rarely filling your tank because you drive so little, does an EV really make a lot of sense? The people who will see the biggest impact (financially and environmentally) are the ones who use most of their EV’s range every day.
