    Canada Talks Electric Cars Webinar

    Canada Talks Electric Cars Webinar Episode #37 "DC Fast Charging, More Than Just a Plug" 

    Tuesday June 6th, 2023 - 7:30PM EST


    We've all come to take the 'gas station' experience for granted... restrooms, snack bars, good lighting and safety are almost always present. With the race to expand charging in Canada, some of these considerations have perhaps been neglected or under valued. Considering that an EV refuelling session still takes longer than a gas fill-up, some amenities are even more critical to ensure a good customer experience.

    Join us on our next episode to hear from Scott Sharabura, VP of Electric Vehicle Charging for Parkland Corporation. Scott brings 25 years of experience in the energy sector and is focused on bringing EV charging solutions to retail and commercial customers. 

    Under Scott's leadership, Parkland has opened 27 DC fast charging stations, and will reach 50 by the end of 2023. In his previous role as VP Strategy, Scott led the development of an energy transition strategy for Parkland, focusing on how Parkland can diversify its business and help its customers to decarbonize, including EV charging, solar energy and the provision of carbon offsets.  


    Register for this highly charged presentation on June 6th at 7:30 PM ET!


    After you register, you will be e-mailed a link to access the webinar.

    Quarterly Meeting: EV Society Caledon Chapter

    Wednesday June 21st 2023, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

    In-Person EVS Combo Chapter Meeting

    For Aurora, Caledon, Mississauga, Niagara and Scarborough Chapters & WREVA

    When: Wednesday June 21st 2023

    Time: 7pm to 9pm

    Location: VinFast Mississauga, 5505 Ambler Drive (401-Dixie Auto Mall), Mississauga

    Organized by multiple Chapters, this meeting will feature a presentation from VinFast on their company and products.  You will also be able to see their current vehicles offered and may just get a test drive too!

    Chaired by Kenneth Bokor (Caledon Chapter Lead), this is a great opportunity for us to all get together in person, since it’s been a long time in coming.   Ken may provide some information regarding EV News, the EV Marketplace, etc. as well.  Snacks will be provided!

    This is great chance to see a new dealership and get to know one of Canada’s upcoming all-electric vehicle brands! 

    We can fit a lot of people here, however we do require you to register so we can keep tabs for food, etc.  Please REGISTER.

    Lots of parking is available, but if you are looking for charging, please use the Plug Share app to see what is around the area.  I don’t believe the VinFast Dealership has chargers open to the public. 

    On behalf of the various EVS Chapter Leads Erik, Tim, Stephen, Jason and Mark, we look forward to seeing many of you at this meeting!  Also, thanks to VinFast Mississauga staff for hosting this meeting!

    Please know that all are welcome… ‘bring’ a friend.  You don’t need to own an EV to join in.  If you have any questions about EV ownership, this is a great opportunity to ask a room full of experience!


    Best regards,

    Ken
