Well at least we can see the flow rates of power from Alberta to bc with this awesome site, maybe alberta can fire up some of those sundance plants so bc can reach their zero emissions. Should Alberta be picking up the 100 grand super charging station cost, we only need 20 or 30 thousand of them? Socialists free enterprise at work. Taking care of Alberta the NDP way.

Another thing people tend to not understand that even in the big city, housing is not set up to plug vehicles in. Most new neighbourhoods have cars parking on the streets. How the heck do you charge cars that park on the street? Every house will need underground charging cables brought to the street and then you need the gov't to identify parking spaces on the street. If that happens, good luck ever visiting friends, because then there would be ZERO street parking available other than residents. Could you imagine that every car you see on the street today would require a plug in??

Add to that, with the increase of power outgoing from each home, how many homes have the proper electric lines and circuits in the home?
