flag Canada’s electric truck demand will use under 1.5% of current electricity, study finds.

flag A Pembina Institute study finds Canada’s electricity demand for electric trucks has been overestimated, with even a 35% electric truck share in Toronto by 2030 expected to use less than 1.5% of current daily electricity. flag The research shows early adoption is concentrated in lighter trucks, which require less power, and that smart planning—like targeting chargers in high-traffic areas, enabling shared charging, and using overnight depot charging—could cut infrastructure costs by 60% to 75% across five Ontario cities, saving up to $1 billion by 2030. flag The study, the first of its kind in Canada, urges grid investments to be based on real-world travel data rather than uniform adoption assumptions.
