Electric vehicles continue to increase in popularity in Canada and
around the world, as people are increasingly looking to save money at the pump
and are switching to more environmentally friendly options. With the weather
getting warmer, and long summer road trips just around the corner, it is
important your Electric Vehicle or hybrid is properly

Vancouver Island’s beautiful (but remote) locations.
