| Abstract: | We are in the midst of an energy revolution. By 2030, the International Energy Agency expects there will be 145 million electric vehicles (EVs) on the road globally. But where are the charging stations needed to power them, or the skilled workers to service them? Currently, Canada does not have the infrastructure required to sustain the projected influx. The EV market here is one of opportunity and potential. Canada is mandating the sale of EVs, requiring all cars sold after 2035 to be fully electric. Last year, Brian Kingston, president of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers Association, said what many of us in the industry were thinking: the success of this transition requires a robust and well-planned network of charging stations.
