Technology is continuously advancing, which has allowed for electric vehicle usage to become more and more feasible to travel far distances. Many high grade electric vehicles, such as the Tesla Model S, can easily travel long distances with the given network of charging stations located in Canada. Not only can these high grade electric vehicles travel the distance, but they save money on gas and help promote sustainable travel. However, these vehicles do come with a high price tag, which can be a deterrent for most working class families.

In the future:

Based on buffer areas, the Ford Focus (standard electric vehicle) can almost travel the entire route. Moving forward, this data could be presented to CAA to show them locations of the 8 extra charging stations that would need to be included to make traveling from Vancouver to Toronto a possibility. If CAA were to input these 8 charging stations, it would make traveling long distances with standard electric cars more feasible. Working class families could then justify purchasing electric vehicles, which would in turn create a higher demand for electric vehicle production and therefore a higher demand for level 3 charging stations. Together, this would promote environmentally responsible travel options and lessen the amount of gasoline powered vehicles on the road.
