Electrify Your Ride (June 2024)
Our Electrify Your Ride booklet serves as a comprehensive guide to electric vehicles in Canada. This resource features a list of all available light duty Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), as well as valuable insights into the benefits of driving electric (economic and environmental), how to charge and the latest incentives. The guide also highlights our key initiatives such as the Mobile EV Education Trailer (MEET), EV Roadshow, and the Electric Vehicle Discovery Centre (EVDC). Distributed at our EVDC and all our events, the Electrify Your Ride booklet reaches approximately 10,000 consumers a year, empowering them with all they need to know to make the switch from gas to electric.

Accelerating the Deployment of Electric Vehicles in Canada and Ontario
Electric vehicle (EV) technology presents an enormous opportunity to help provinces and territories reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the transportation sector, which is the second largest contributor to GHGs in Canada.
A collaborative report released in Ottawa by Bruce Power, Plug’n Drive, Pollution Probe and the University of Waterloo’s Department of Chemical Engineering, explores ways to build upon existing policy framework at the federal and provincial levels with respect to plug-in EVs.
Reducing Ontario’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions
This report examines five different electric vehicle (EV) growth scenarios to estimate potential greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and illustrate how EVs can form a key part of Ontario’s Climate Change Action Plan.
