University of Regina – Decarbonizing Transportation Seminar – Electric Vehicles: Challenges, Strategies and Emission Mitigations

The transportation sector accounts for around 25% of Canada’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Electric Vehicles (EV) and cleaner fuels are key to decarbonizing our communities and society. However, the uneven and limited infrastructure is one major roadblock. Less than 6% of electric chargers are in the Prairie region which makes EVs problematic for long trips. Furthermore, although Canada sets the mandatory target for passenger vehicles to be zero-emission by 2035, charging queuing and cold weather are major concerns for urban EV trips. Such growing challenges are critical reasons that EVs still make up fewer than 5% of Canadian passenger vehicles. This seminar will address the growing challenges, strategies and future vision of electric vehicle development towards sustainable, inclusive and zero-emission transportation and society.
