Friday, September 17, 2010 Canada's Electric Vehicle Revolution Charges Ahead
 More than 250 world-wide delegates and electric vehicle experts gathered in Vancouver this week to explore technology and policy issues that will shape Canada's successful transition to an electric vehicle future at the EV 2010 VÉ Conference and Trade Show.
Interest in electric vehicles is growing as Canadians look for cleaner, more efficient vehicles. Electric vehicles will not only help the environment but also allow consumers to save money on maintenance and through reduced fuel costs. And with most Canadians commuting less than 40 km per day, battery and plug-in electric vehicles can meet the needs of most consumers.
As one of the top five countries producing and using renewable power, Canada is well positioned to embrace electric vehicles. Utilities, like Hydro, are supporting the development of an electric vehicle infrastructure – including fast charging stations – to accelerate the arrival of the vehicles in the Canadian marketplace.
The EV 2010 VÉ Conference & Trade Show is the largest electric mobility conference in Canada.
