Cortes Climate Action Network
Your satisfied EV-driving neighbours invite you to get your EV questions answered at Mansons Hall on October 31, 1 pm in the Pioneer Room.
For the researched answers, please send your questions to cortesclimateproton.me.
Following the info session, you can talk to EV owners in the parking lot about the benefits and challenges of driving their particular model.
The transition away from fossil fuels is inevitable. Solar arrays and batteries are now less expensive than using fossil fuels to generate electricity. (See Chris Hatch’s article here: https://www.nationalobserver.com/newsletters/zero-carbon/2025/10/12/our-friendly-neighbourhood-fireball. )
Household efficiency is much improved, thanks to convection stoves and heat pumps. Timing of adoption is critical to outcomes. For places with hydroelectricity, like Cortes Island, switching to an EV has the biggest impact in speeding the transition.
Never have there been so many choices. But the information is contradictory and confusing, in part due to fossil fuel disinformation, in part due to the wide range of options and in part due to shifting government policies (rebates, ferries).
Bring us your questions. The answer panel will include Barry Saxifrage, Ralph Garrison, Mike Moore, Max Thayson and others.
On another day, we can talk e-bikes and e-tools.
Email those questions to cortesclimateproton.me.
