Does it make sense to drive an electric vehicle in Prince George?
16Climate change propaganda created a hysteria that fogged a lot of people's common sense, including many gullible leaders of the world.Climate change propaganda has made many people, including loons like Al Gore and the wretched Greta Thunberg, wealthy.I take climate change propaganda for the complete farce that it is.Drill baby Drill.

18If you want to buy one, fine spend your money. But there should be no EV mandates or subsidies, that's just virtue signaling and serves no real purpose.

23Why didn’t the geniuses at the city tell us when they wanted the vote to build the “new” 50 million dollar pool that the old pool would require the same amount of money to “fix “ a few years later? Oh wait, I know cuz they knew that would be stupid and the citizens would not go for it. What a joke the city is. Things need to change.

19In two years time I would not be shocked if the floor of the wave/river pool was left in the dilapidated, unpainted state it has been in for at least the past four years.Seeing how the City lacks any foresight in planning and budgetting I could see the nimrods in charge of " renovations " ( it's actually a rebuild amount of dollars) omitting this aesthetic eyesore when you enter onto the pool deck.

14It was another wokeism/knee-jerk/left wing lunatic decision to try for all electric vehicles after a certain date.... Plain and simple!!!!NOT enough raw materials available to pull this off!!! Would mean further desicrating mother earth. I am certain that with more sane logic that the answer lies somewhere in between, with hybrids being the answer. Eg. local government fleets could be all electric. Some commercial vehicle fleets too.As a general consumer/citizen my choice would be a hybrid. See what the crazzee politicians come up with...

22This is very sad. I don’t understand why there wasn’t stiffer penalties. The driver chose to cross a double line illegally. This passing at accelerated speed led to the loss of control, which then resulted in the death of this little boy. The laws need to be toughen up and this driver should be in jail.

15Ill stick with my Cummins. Gets me around and hauls a load. EV's seem like the might be the answer until you pay the electric bill which BC Hydro or PowerX has a monopoly and can raise the price at anytime. I don't want to have to pack around a generator to keep the darn thing moving.You couldn't give me one of those things if it was free. Poor resale value is another issue. Another problem a full battery replacement n the case of a minor fender bender often exceeds the cost of the vehicle new price. In a lot of cases a small dent in the undercarriage and your out 50 to $100,000. You have at best a very large paperweight.

20The BC government is failing in so many ways in all aspects of their duties to the people that live and work here. The 105 kmh limit put on trucks doesn’t include all of them apparently. I was recently passed while doing 105 kmh by a truck from Terrace. It caught me like I was standing still and blew by me the same way. CVSE needs to step it up.

10I absolutely love my Mustang Mach e. I have had it for 2 years now and I drive it all year round, all over the province. BC definitely needs more chargers northbound from Prince George as that is the only highway that makes me worry with travel. Although I do not see myself getting rid of my secondary gas vehicle just yet, I like it for the back roads. Much easier to pack a Jerry can of gas as a "just incase" than a generator to go fishing and camping. Will I buy another one? yeah, I'm already picking out the colour and style lol. I do absolutely believe the goal of 2035 was unreasonable. But I also believe that removing our incentives and subsidies was a wrong move.

18Peter is right about it all. They hand out licenses like candy to anyone and everyone with no delay. These commercial drivers are horrendous on the roads.

15A slight correction....the wave pool's floor surface has been in a dilapidated, unpainted state since before the start of the pandemic in March 2020.Why didn't the City do anything about its ugly floor in the past six years or more of annual maintenance shutdowns.The City of PG has no civic pride.

11I have to admit, a future with some type of electric vehicle dominating the roadways, does have its appeal. Internal combustion engines do release emissions into our living space and I do have to wonder about the health impact of thousands of idling vehicles on our streets endlessly. Although I don’t find most vehicles to be obnoxiously loud, maybe a shift towards electric will reduce the unnecessary noise pollution.On the other hand, with electric cars being a fledgling technology, I wonder where the technology is headed? What will the cars be like in ten years, will they be replaced by newer superior technology? I would like to see more in depth honest interview with electric car owners. - what does long range travel look like?- how has it impacted their hydro usage?- repair cost snd availability?- impact of cold weather? And please, less of this “waking up the neighbourhood or burning expensive fuel unhealthy for children or anyone."

14Lots of division over EVs. They're just cars. They work very well these days actually and are equivalent to or better than gas cars. They actually do great in the winter. But they're still just cars. Let the market decide who buys them and for what price. People shouldn't be so divided over what fuel their vehicle uses.

17The truck j3et knifed. Why was he speeding in snowy conditions? Has he ever driven a truck in snowy conditions in his life? I question the speed limits on BC Highways. Some areas of the Coquihalla stretch are marked 110 to 130 and these fellows drive 15kph over the limit even in winter. I wouldn't even go over 90 from previous experience.

Does it make sense to drive an electric vehicle in Prince George?
15While I have no issues with EVs personally I still would not own one for several reasons. Some of my reasoning is backed up by real world testing, others by news reports and others by word of mouth be it truth or a lie with a hint of truth.These are not vehicles to take in the backcountry as their limited range and unreliability on mud or snow covered roads and lack of access to charging. I’ll have more respect for them once they can go 400km into the bush and haul out 4 semi truck tires in one charge EV owners like to point out that you can get to Edmonton in under 10 hrs but that is wholly dependant on if charging stations are available and working and no lineups for chargers.Risk of spontaneous fires or batteries that get wet causing fires while the number is small it has many insurance companies shy about insuring homes with EVs in the driveway. Many fire departments will no longer douse EV fires due to the risk involved and let them burn out instead
