The EV Discovery Tour is a wrap! Our tour team covered 2300 km of Central and Northern BC emitting only 0.6% of the GHG emissions that an equivalent internal combustion engine would have on the same trip.
Watch for Charge North installations starting this September!
“That was fantastic to drive, I’m getting one for sure. So much fun!”

Today our tour team is off to Burns Lake and Houston! Both of these communities are receiving Level 2 Charging Stations as a part of the Charge North network.
You can learn more about how Level 2 stations are a win-win in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=cNDWb8z3…
“We’ve had no issues finding charging for our Kona in the north, this network will make it even easier.” Thea & Joe – at Vanderhoof, British Columbia
Thanks to the Auto Extrication Team at Prince George Fire Rescue for chatting all things electrification today! We had fun learning how they engage with electric equipment and vehicles and seeing more of the inner workings of the Mach-E.
Overheard today in 100 Mile.“Very cool to checkout so many EVs at once, we like them all!”
