Can anyone tell me what the charge is to charge up your car around bc right now. When I was down in the spring I seen a few around. It can’t be free in a public place?

Good question, there are a couple plug in charging stations at the park in a Houston beside the museum, I think they were credit card type pay deals. Would be curious to see what the $ per km equates to.

with the gong show that happening in BC politics right now the NDGREEN party will be turfed out(again) and we won’t have to listen to the ridiculousness that spew out of Horgan and Weaver.

Some good info on the Tesla website on charging requirements.

Sounds like the electric vehicles are considerably cheaper than filling a gas vehicle, some feedback from Ontario users are coming in less than 1/2 the cost of an equivalent size gas vehicle.

What I have heard is that your charge doesn’t not get you anywhere close to the mileage as a gas or diesel powered vehicle.

I don't think the current electrical grid in BC could support this........

Not a hope in hell it could! But they will rebuild it and upgrade it, then jack your power bill up 500% to pay for the construction. Win win for everyone but the guy with a cord in one hand and a set of keys for your electric unit in the other!
