Elizabeth May Urges Exemption for Island Communities on Electric Vehicle Transport

"Elizabeth May Urges Exemption for Island Communities on Electric Vehicle Transport Regulations

In a letter to the Minister of Transport, Elizabeth May is advocating for a narrow exemption to electric vehicle transport regulations, specifically tailored to meet the unique needs of island communities. This call to action comes in response to concerns from constituents who are struggling to transport their inoperable electric vehicles (EVs) on BC Ferries to Vancouver Island or the Lower Mainland for maintenance and repair.

May emphasizes the importance of ensuring equitable access to EV maintenance and repair services for all, including island residents. By providing a targeted exemption, the government can help address this pressing issue and support the growth of sustainable transportation options in these communities."
