“ B.C. Hydro wants to raise EV charging fees, but customers say the time-based fees are unfair”

Again, I don't want to pile on, but if you're going to post outright nonsense there's a need for less frequent posters to see fact check.

1) I have a level 2 charger (the fastest type of home charger) installed and it cost me $750, not $10k. That's impossible

2) Even at the 15% increased costs BC Hydro is suggesting it's cheaper than gas

3) Average new vehicle in Canada is $66,000 (https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/average-n...-66k-1.6484764). Most Electric vehicles available in Canada can be purchased below that price. You cannot compare average ICE vs average EV, because many automakers electrified premium versions of their more expensive trims like Hummer EV and Porsche Taycan which naturally are in the 100's of thousands. There's also plenty of used EV's now available that are quite affordable. The $80,000 figure is silly
