Electric Mobility Canada (EMC) and Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors have released their landmark report, Powering Up: A national and sub-national outlook on electric vehicle adoption, barriers, and impacts to the grid. This collaborative work provides data and analysis to accelerate the electrification of transportation across Canada.
The report marks a significant step forward in evidence-based policy-making for the electric vehicle (EV) sector, ensuring Canada’s EV transition is efficient, equitable, and aligned with national climate targets. The accompanying interactive Powering Up Dashboard further empowers the climate action network by translating complex energy modelling into accessible, jurisdiction-specific insights.
Key Contributions
- Data and Forecasting: The National Report and Provincial and Territorial Reports provide a detailed forecast of zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) adoption under multiple scenarios between 2025 and 2040. This allows utilities, grid operators, and other relevant actors to proactively analyze the implications for electricity demand and plan for a reliable and affordable ZEV transition.
- Interactive Planning Tool: The Powering Up Dashboard is an interactive data visualization platform that translates complex modelling into user-friendly insights. It allows users in every province and territory to explore the impacts of consumer economics, various policy options, and electricity system demands, reinforcing data-driven decision-making within our network.
- Addressing Key Barriers: By examining key barriers to ZEV adoption, the reports identify effective policies and interventions. This targeted analysis is invaluable for local actors looking to increase charging access, boost ZEV supply, and reduce vehicle purchase costs.
