A new report from BC Hydro finds many B.C. residents are interested in electric vehicles but many still believe "myths" the cars are too expensive, have limited range and not enough charging stations available. Rebates of up to $5,000 are available for battery electric vehicles, and up to $2,500 for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. More affordable electric vehicles like the Nissan Leaf and others by Chevrolet and Volkswagen are designed to entice entry-level buyers. "There are currently more than 1,000 charging stations – including 30 fast charging stations, with 26 additional stations planned to be added this year," it said.
