Sustainable Transportation Webinar Series
The Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care and Plug'n Drive hosted Canadian health care's first Zero-Emissions Vehicle (ZEV/EV) educational webinars.
Plug’n Drive has recently developed a brand new workplace charging guide, ‘Lead the Charge’ to help organisations navigate the complex world of installing and operating workplace charging. This webinar series will introduce you to the key aspects of the guide to save you time and money in any workplace charging installation and ensure employees are engaged in the process.
These webinar recordings and slides are suitable for:
- Energy managers
- Facility managers and operators
- Transportation managers and supervisors
- Project managers
- Capital planning staff
- Climate change resiliency planners
- Finance officers
- Procurement officers
- Gearheads and car geeks who like electric vehicles
Physician loses patience with high price of gas, adopts ZEV technology
"Dr. Pascal Gellrich is a physician based in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia where his work in emergency medicine, offshore telemedicine, and addiction medicine frequently finds him commuting hundreds of kilometers each week between his home and Halifax, Digby and Bridgewater. With monthly gasoline charges topping $500, and the lease on his gasoline-powered mid-sized Subaru crossover about to expire, he felt the time was right to reinvigorate his search for a new, more energy-efficient vehicle".

Sunnybrook electrifies to meet zero-emissions vehicle challenge
"Toronto’s Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre is Canada’s largest trauma centre and has a proud history of environmental stewardship which has helped to reduce the environmental impact of hospital activities and allowed Sunnybrook to better realize its vision of inventing the future of health care.
The five keys to their success include: energy conservation, green procurement, waste management, an awareness and education campaign and sustainable transportation which in 2017 saw them begin their quest to add zero-emission vehicle (electric vehicle/ZEV) charging stations into their infrastructure".

Federal, provincial and territorial governments are working to develop a national Zero-Emissions Vehicle Strategy. It’s a critical opportunity to put Canada in the EV game. To succeed, it will need to accomplish these four things:
The popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow as market share in the 2nd quarter reached more than 3% in the country, a significant increase of just under 1% over the last year. Read the full report here.
"We identified 96 policies that directly or indirectly aim to increase electric vehicle sales in Canada. Of these policies, 8 have expired, 62 are active, and another 26 have been proposed (as of October 2016). Read the full report here
Electric-mobility may be a key component in a successful transition toward deep greenhousegas (GHG) reductions (Williams et al., 2012). This report considers the potential market for plug-in
electric vehicles (PEVs) in Canada’s passenger (light-duty) vehicle sector. Read the full report here
The higher cost of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) can make it more difficult to adopt this clean technology. The iZEV program and new tax write-offs for businesses will help make it more affordable.
Today’s electric vehicles are becoming more mainstream due to lower prices, faster charging times and increased driving ranges How do you choose the right electric vehicle? Check out the hydroOne EV buyers guide here.
Transportation accounts for a quarter of Canada’s carbon emissions. With more than 80 per cent of Canadians now living in urban areas, fast reliable public transit and active and shared transportation options have never been better investments. Read more here
As part of its EV policy package, the federal government is also introducing tax incentives for businesses looking to go electric. Companies that purchase EVs can write off the cost of passenger vehicles to a maximum of $55,000 plus sales tax in the year of purchase Read more here
If you’re in the market for an electric or hybrid vehicle, what you can expect to spend really runs the gamut. Thanks to some attractive government incentives, the decision to buy an electric vehicle has been a no-brainer for some. Read more here
Federal, provincial and territorial governments are working to develop a national Zero-Emissions Vehicle Strategy. It’s a critical opportunity to put Canada in the EV game. To succeed, it will need to accomplish these four things:
Canada has made strong commitments: to reach 10 per cent zero-emission vehicle sales by 2025, 30 per cent by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2040.
