Electricity

Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations. Various common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others. The presence of an electric charge, which can be either positive or negative, produces an electric field. The movement of electric charges is an electric current and produces a magnetic field. When a charge is placed in a location with a non-zero …

EV adoption on Canada’s electricity grids, estimating the additional generating capacity needed to meet the rising demand from EVs. EVs could put a strain on Canadian electricity grids with annual increases increases in electricity demand ranging from 46.8 terawatt hours (7.5% of total generation) to 95.1 terawatt hours (15.3%). This would require the construction of ten new mega dams, comparable to BC’s Site Meeting the expected electricity demand from EVs adoption in Canada is not feasible given the current mandate timelines and the time required to develop and construct electricity generation and infrastructure

Ottawa’s EV mandate—and the increased demand for electricity—unrealistically requires the equivalent of 10 and the Demand for Electricity.
