With the Canadian government providing big incentives to drive EV adoption with a target date of 2023 to create a zero-emission vehicle infrastructure, many adoption barriers still exist. Most Canadians living in urban cities face harsh winters which makes driving conditions difficult. A recent research study from KPMG shows that 64% of Canadian drivers feel that EVs are not always reliable in cold weather. Just over half (51%) in the study said that they expect public charging stations to work quickly (no more than 20 minutes), with 79% saying they would not even consider an EV that does not have a driving range of at least 400 kilometres. (Source: KPMG, (2022, February 16) Canadians Hot on Electric Vehicles but Cold on Charging Ability. https://home.kpmg/ca/en/home/media/press-releases/2022/02/canadians-hot-on-electric-vehicles-but-cold-on-charging.html)
One of the biggest concerns affecting EV owners today is "range anxiety''- the worry that driving too far from a charging station will leave you stranded with a dead battery. EV Connect wants to alleviate range anxiety with its proprietary direct charging technology that keeps drivers charged and prepared to go the distance. The Company believes that EV Connect's roadside assistance will solve range anxiety along with other common charging station issues such as station failures and long waiting time to charge- approximately eight (8) hours. Furthermore, the Company is focused on keeping its services quick and cost-effective.
