2024 in the door.

In 2024, we can expect to see further advancements in technology, continued focus on environmental issues, potential breakthroughs in science and medicine, and significant global events such as elections, sporting competitions, and cultural milestones. It’s also likely that the world will continue to grapple with ongoing challenges, including those related to public health, climate change, and international relations. As with any year, 2024 will bring both opportunities and obstacles, shaping the course of history in various ways.

Oxymoron

Does one cancel out the other? If it does that’s an oxymoron.

Traffic circle aside numbers of infrastructure related to storm management are in the ground at this writing. A build up of the shoulder on the south side of the Voght street hill shows a raised walk is coming.

This will enhance safety and we hope attach to the paved trail over the hill leading to safe bus stops for the circuit linking the downtown to the hotel and big box area above.

Electric vehicles in BC

Electric vehicles (EVs) in British Columbia (BC) are becoming increasingly popular as more people recognize the environmental and economic benefits they offer. The provincial government, along with various organizations, has been implementing initiatives to encourage the adoption of EVs.

BC has an extensive network of charging stations, making it convenient for EV owners to charge their vehicles while on the go. There are different types of charging stations, including Level 1, Level 2, and DC Fast Chargers, catering to the varying charging needs of EV drivers.

One of BC’s notable incentives for EV owners is the Clean Energy Vehicle (CEV) Program. This program provides rebates for the purchase or lease of eligible new electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. The amount of the rebate depends on the type of vehicle and its battery capacity.

In addition to the CEV Program, BC offers other incentives, such as reduced toll rates for EVs crossing certain bridges and priority access to high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. These benefits make owning an EV in BC more affordable and convenient.

Furthermore, the provincial government has set ambitious goals to transition to a cleaner transportation system. BC aims to have all new light-duty vehicles sold be zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by 2040. This commitment demonstrates BC’s dedication to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable transportation.

Overall, the future looks promising for electric vehicles in BC. With a supportive government, a robust charging infrastructure, and enticing incentives, more residents are expected to make the switch to electric vehicles, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future for the province.
