How far can an electric car go?

Modern electric vehicles typically have a 300 to 600km range. Even better, fast charging stations are rarely more

than 100km apart within a charging station network.

Absolutely! Electric motors are notorious for their high torque and instant power delivery. That means you’ll be

surprised by how much kick an electric motor has. You’ll be pressed back in your seat, and you’ll have no trouble

passing on the highway. Promise.

While cold weather can affect the range of electric cars, these vehicles are proven to be, well, tough as winter. Some

big cold-weather perks: Electric engines don’t struggle to turnover in the winter. They start in all conditions. And, you

can preheat while plugged in without expensive idling.

It depends on the battery size of your car and what type of charging station you are using. Generally, there are three

different ways you can charge an electric vehicle:

Level 3The fastest option. It’s also called a Direct Current Fast Charger (DCFC), or in the case of Tesla, a Supercharger. Charging times depend on several factors, such as the

size of your car battery and the capabilities of your car. In most cases, you can charge to 80% in under an hour.

EV etiquette is important at fast charging stations. We recommend you limit your charging time to 30 to 40 minutes to minimize the waiting time for others who

need to charge.

Level 2These chargers are most often found and used at home,

workplaces, malls and community centres—places where you leave your car for an extended period of time.

They add 30-40km of range per hour.

Level 1The slowest charge typically uses the vehicle’s “trickle

charge” cable and a standard 110v wall outlet. At ~8km of range per hour, this method can be used to recover daily

driving while at work or home.

There are plenty in BC. The best way to find public charging stations is by using charging station apps. They let you filter for station types, check charging station status in real-time,

and see user feedback.
