For a show about all things fleet electrification, there's a distinct area we've been unable to address: The distinct areas where we don't live! Based out of the Lower Mainland, we haven't been able to directly address some of the concerns held by folks who live in the more vast and rugged rural areas of our province... until now! We're taking a road trip through the B.C. Interior to talk to companies, organizations, and groups about their thoughts on fleet electrification. There are tons of success stories out there, not without their own stories of overcoming challenges. Join us as we explore what B.C. has to offer, and have conversations with folks who are pioneers in the ZEV transition all across our province.
