Carbon offset.
A Petro-Canada Station on Voght street was doing the final connections to its two EV car chargers on Thursday. The Live by the Leaf project is connecting an EV charging line across Canada for quick chargers.
Editors Note: EV charging is not a reliable mass transportation system at this point. There are about 1 million electric vehicles in North America.(40 models now in Canada.)
Preparing for EVS: Charge it
The future is electric. This mantra has been repeated by policy and transportation think tanks, national governments and automakers alike. With projections that today’s five million electric vehicles (EVs) could grow to as many as 250 million in just 10 years, and that by 2040, more than half of passenger vehicle sales will be EVs, tomorrow’s fuelling infrastructure will be electrical grids.

The entry of a major player line Petro Canada may be more then a carbon offset and cause some growth in EV usage.
