In this episode, Robert speaks with Glenn Garry, President of the Victoria Electric Vehicle Association in Canada. ️ They explore Canada's current position in the electric vehicle space. With a population of 42 million and over one million EVs already on the road, Canada is making steady progress, but not without its challenges. As a country closely tied to developments in the United States, particularly around EV policy and technology, Canada faces a unique challenge: balancing its own ambitions while navigating the influence of its southern neighbour. Glenn shares valuable insights into the state of EV adoption, infrastructure, and the role organisations like the Victoria Electric Vehicle Association play, not only in advocating for EVs, but in breaking down barriers, debunking myths, and addressing the real-world obstacles that stand in the way of a cleaner, electric future. 03:00 VEVA Summary  04:10 Global EV Association 05:00 Advocacy and Clarifying Common Issues 08:30 Challenges Posed By Government Policies 11:00 Canadian Car Manufacturing  13:30 USA Falls Behind in Clean Tech 14:20 Canada-US Auto Integration 15:45 Tesla Sales in Canada  17:48 Current EV Landscape 18:00 EV Regression 19:15 Psychological & Political Challenges 21:00 European and Chinese EVs 22:30 Tariffs  25:00 Political Barriers 28:30 Hybrid Vehicles  33:30 Canada EV Attitude Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Check out our sister channel Everything Electric CARS: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Become a YouTube member: use JOIN button above Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show Everything Electric VANCOUVER - Vancouver Convention Center - 5th, 6th & 7th September 2025 Everything Electric FARNBOROUGH - Farnborough International - 11th & 12th October 2025 Everything Electric MELBOURNE - Melbourne Showgrounds 14th, 15th & 16th November 2025 #fullychargedshow #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electric-vehicles-uk
