#2> It also estimated $1.7 million in revenues for the city from the increased license fees.
Are they going to use that money to install EV charging stations?

#3Would be better to incentivize 24 hour grocery stores to provide low cost leases to fast DC charge networks. 20-30 minutes grocery shopping or dining is the new charge experience, versus five minute fill ups at your traditional petrol dispenser. Those who can will charge at home or work most of the time.

#6Any other highway locations would be better. Best thing about an EV is you fill up next to a restaurant or cafe. Never have to go to a gas station again

#7Given it's Vancouver couldn't they crank up the property taxes instead? Might relieve some of the real estate pressure coming from second-home owners as well - win-win!

As mentioned in the article, the proposal would require only a single fast charging spot to avoid the fee.

In Oslo the stations usually put chargers on what used to be normal parking spots. They also replace some gas pumps by a charger or two.

I would say charging at work (during the day, using solar energy exported into the grid). Or at night, capturing off-peak power generation is the new charge experience.
Currently, DC Fast Charging is very expensive to build out and using them frequently reduces battery capacity over time.
