Made my way from the Valley up to Whistler in my @chevrolet Bolt EV today thanks to @bchydro just had to make one stop for a quick charge on the way up and one charge for safe measure for my way back home 😁 Think I've broken my "range fear" lol.

@sdm59 @bchydro Not to worry, as with all vehicles they get sold and come down in price as they get older.

@Lidsville As the #sitec dam becomes a larger financial embarr***ment for the @bcndp and @bcliberals, will the cash bonfire continue or will we see corners being cut in an effort to contain inevitable @bchydro rate increases? Reason behind going from 125 pile anchors down to 96?

It’s like 30 out I am dying and BC Hydro has the power off from 9-5 🤬so no or AC. How are they allowed to do an 8 hour outage in the middle of summer when it’s thus hot??

@metal_mica @bigorangebike @bchydro My experience tells me that eBikes could replace cars for more people than we appreciate. The problem is, those eBikes, typically cargobikes, are expensive. Not as expensive as a brand new EV but it can be more than a used car. A rebate would be nice, since they can replace cars.

Brief power outage in Kitsilano — and in the time it took to hunt for my mobile phone in the darkness, call the outage report line, hear it had already been reported and that a crew was on the scene… they fixed it.
Way to go, @bchydro crews!

@ilse31046 @davinator_t @bchydro It’s 21 minutes to charge.
700 km range.
When you travel.
Same as petrol, by the time you hit the bathroom stretch your legs it’s done.
Tesla charging station are preloaded.
I tried using the others, damn nightmare.
Most people charge at hotel overnight, non issue in city

@davinator_t @TomZychowski @bchydro I don’t think that’s the issue. 1) Find the Charging Station which is usually out of the way 2) Wait your turn 3) Spend time charging 4) Follow your route which is dictated by the locations of the Stations.

@sdm59 @bchydro I'm a little worried about this dynamic actually. EVs get adopted from the economic top down and people really struggling get double-hit because they're stuck with ICE engines while gas prices skyrocket.
A good compromise might be better rules around ebikes and mini-cars.

@McAllister_Isak @bchydro Nonsense. Currently 95% of Hydrogen comes from the processing of natural gas. H2 is an "energy carrier", not a fuel, and CO2 is a non problem. If you disagree, please let us know why.

@cindian1 @GeorgeHeyman One of the first things BC Hydro did for the #SiteC dam was cut down eagles’ nest trees. It’s since cut down countless nesting trees + a thousand-pound eagles’ nest. Remember visiting the Peace Valley before the $16 billion in destruction your government ramped up, George?

This is an example of poor planning by @bchydro & and the Premier.
The Premier needs to explain what 90,000 people are supposed to do with an EXTENDED power outage.
Hotels are booked - campgrounds are booked.

@bchydro That is all very understandable. What isn't understandable is a 17 year old dog with no way to cool off and hydro is cold and heartless that does not care about the welfare of animals in the heat. She is too old to board. This outage needs to be postponed until the fall.

@sdm59 @bchydro They will remain expensive.
Even with generous subsidies ($5k fed + $3k BC = $8k) they are far too expensive for many.
Price will not come down much. Also those who park on the street - many - have no way to charge.
Gasoline cars will be around for a long time and that's good.

@sdm59 @bchydro We really are in early adoption stage at the moment. I expect the cost of electric vehicles will come down. More people now can make the offset of gas costs against a car loan work, but is highly dependent on current gas use. The used market will also factor in soon.
