ChargerQuest will begin development of the charging hub in late August 2022, and it will be located on the west side of the Tobermory Community Centre parking lot – immediately adjacent to Highway #6 and walking distance to the many amenities, shopping and restaurants in Tobermory. EV drivers can download the ChargerQuest app and simply scan, plug in and charge. Located in the beautiful Northern Bruce Peninsula, this EV charging hub sets a very high standard for ultra-fast EV charging: promoting eco-tourism, EV adoption, and clean emission-free travel.

The starting point

Electric vehicles have been seen throughout history. From as far back as 100 years ago, there have been some pretty fascinating inventions of the concept of the electric car. Although people had been attempting to build self-propelled road vehicles for centuries, it wasn’t until the late 19th Century that the age of the automobile began.

When was the first electric vehicle made?

In 1828, before petrol-powered cars were on the streets, inventors had already been familiar with the idea of motor vehicles powered by electricity.

However, due to the gradual increase of petrol-powered vehicles across the US and Europe, electric cars disappeared from the roads.

Who invented electric vehicles?

In 1828, Hungarian inventor Anyos Jedlik made an electric model car, which was a significant contribution to the history of technology. History credits him as the one who gave birth to the idea of electric vehicles.

What was the first electric car company?

William Morrison was a key player in the history of electric vehicles. In 1891, he signed a deal with the American Battery Company to be his manufacturer and begin selling his invention, the Morrison Electric, to the masses. This model could achieve speeds of between 6-12 miles per hour, and it took around 10 hours for a full charge.

What are the four types of electric vehicles?

If you consider converting your gasoline vehicle into an electric vehicle, there are four types of that you should be familiar with.

• Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)

This type of car does not use gasoline or other fossil fuels. It doesn’t have an internal combustion engine (ICE). It only uses the power stored in a battery pack then provides that power to one or more electric motors to move the car along.

• Hybrid
  • Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)

This type of hybrid car has an ICE and an electric motor. The internal combustion engine gets energy from fuel, while the motor gets electricity from batteries. The gasoline engine and electric motor simultaneously rotate the transmission, which drives the wheels.

• Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV)

PHEVs are powered by a conventional fuel or an alternative fuel (such as bio-diesel) and a rechargeable battery pack. The battery can be charged with electricity by plugging into an electrical outlet or electric vehicle charging station (EVCS).

• Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV)

It is also known as a fuel cell vehicle (FC) or Zero Emission vehicle. This is the type of electric car that converts the chemical energy of the fuel into electric energy.

The future of electric vehicles

Electric cars are the future. In fact, most auto manufacturers have electric vehicles planned for their lineup. Everyone is preparing for the electric future, from classic automakers with a legacy of excellence to pioneering newcomers with cutting-edge technology.

Now that the race is on for who will be leading the electric vehicle revolution?

Whether you’re in the market for a luxury sedan or an efficient crossover, let’s make it easy for you to make the right decision.

How to choose the right Electric Vehicle

When making the switch to electric, there are a couple of things you should know. EVs come in all shapes and sizes like their gasoline counterparts, but the biggest difference that may affect your decision is the range, cost, and popularity.

The Range Leaders in Canada

Hopping around the city? Or are you the adventurous type, ready to go on long trips with the family out to the cabins?  Read carefully because the range of your future vehicle may make or break your choice of travel.

Unlike petrol-powered motorcars, EVs take a little longer to fill up. The more you travel, the less time you have in between charges. While it’s recommended to look for the top range transporters, you should also consider that a longer range may come with a longer price tag.

Top Range EVs

1. Tesla Model S Long Range

• • 405 miles

1. Ford Mustang Mach E

• • 379 miles

1. BMW i4

• • 367 miles

1. Mercedes EQS

• • 350 miles

1. Hyundai Kona Electric

• • 300 miles

Popularity

Electric Vehicles replace the combustible engines of a traditional vehicle and use electric motors powered by batteries to keep you going. Depending on your needs, you may need towing power or just enough to get your kids to and from school. The most popular vehicles on the market right now can guarantee you both if you choose wisely.

The Most Popular Consumer EVs ( by brand )

1. Tesla Model Y

• • 76,000 units sold

1. Chevorlet Bolt

• • 24,000 units sold

1. Ford Mustang Mach-E

• • 18,000 units sold

1. Volkswagen ID4

• • 12,000 units sold

1. Nissan Leaf

• • 10,000 units sold

Brands like Tesla are hot and hype right now, as they signaled the wave to go electric. However, competitors such as Nissan make electric vehicles affordable and accessible.

Price

Electric Vehicles are traditionally more expensive than their petrol counterparts due to the high amounts of battery power required. We don’t think you’ll regret your purchase once your savings on fuel start kicking in.

Either way, as more and more competitors enter the market, we’re seeing EV prices go toe to toe with less efficient gasoline models. Here are our picks for the most affordable EVs you can buy right now:

The Most Affordable EVs ( by brand )

1. Nisan Leaf S

• • $37,500

1. Chevy Bolt

• • $38,000

1. Mini Cooper SE

• • $40,000

1. Hyundai KonaElectric

• • $45,000

1. Mazda MX-30

• • $42,150

So, which should I choose?

It all comes down to your unique EV needs. If you’re looking for cool features, Teslas are the way to go. Luxury? A Mercedes Benz EQS is the top of the line from a respected brand. Carrying yourself around the city in comfort and style? Hyundais are the way to go.

No matter your choice, any of these cars will be a better replacement for your old one. Just remember to charge up at a Charger Quest location near you!
