    Dear members,


    I’m excited to announce that we received 6 qualified applications from members interested in joining our Board of Directors in 2023. Since the 6 qualified applicants were fewer than the number of applicants needed to fill the 12 board positions when added to the 5 board members serving the second year of a two year term, an election was not needed; the 6 applicants will join the board through the acclimation process in our By-Laws.

     

    Please join us at the upcoming AGM on Friday March 31st at 8PM EDT by registering.  The new Board will be announced as will the winner of the annual Howard Hutt award.  A full agenda for this meeting is available here and minutes from last year’s AGM are available here.


    Once you register you will receive an email with the Zoom link.

     

    We are looking forward to seeing you at the AGM!


    Sincerely,

    Spencer Wright

    EVS Secretary / Election Committee

    Canada Talks Electric Cars Webinar Episode #35 "EV Inventory at Canadian Dealerships"

    Tuesday April 4th, 2023 - 7:30PM EST


    Many of us have experienced it first hand or at least heard stories about the severe shortage of electric vehicles at car dealerships across the country.  While demand for EVs has been increasing, inventory on dealer lots has gone in the opposite direction.  Adding to this story is the potential trend away from the traditional dealership model to direct sales by auto manufacturers.  Recently, Dunsky Energy + Climate Advisors undertook a deep dive into the situation to uncover some interesting results and trends.    

    Jeff Turner, Director of Mobility for Dunsky, joins us for and episode to provide some context to their recent study of EV dealerships and inventory across Canada.

    Jeffs passion for clean mobility and advanced energy technologies has led to a career at the nexus of sustainable transportation, energy storage, demand response and renewable energy. His experience – more than a decade working with vehicle manufacturers, research institutes, utilities and governments – affords him a unique, grounded perspective on what is needed to move the needle on market adoption of clean energy technologies. Jeffs work has covered personal and commercial vehicle engineering, electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, energy storage technology, and vehicle-grid integration, among others.

    Jeff is a recognized leader in transportation electrification, and we are fortunate to have him join us in April.

    The Georgian College Auto Show, North America’s largest outdoor auto show is back for 2023 and the Barrie-Orillia Chapter of Electric Vehicle Society will be there!


    Organized by Automotive Business students and held on the Barrie Campus, EVS has been invited to set up a display to engage the public in conversations about electric vehicle ownership.


    We will be reaching out soon for  a few EVS members to participate by providing their vehicles and expertise for a park-and-display of electric vehicles for our display.  We will post details as they become available and we look forward to seeing everyone in person.
