…Yes, which is basically exactly the point I was alluding to. My <20km suburban-urban commute is precisely why a PhEV use case applies really well to me. Those living/working in areas or whose lifestyles (or even simply preferences) are not so conducive to PhEV or full EV use are just as welcome to stick with what works for them. I know that applies to many Canadians. I was just pointing out that large pickups are probably not a good barometer to be applied more broadly.

I think he was talking abouta hybrid scenario - which is completely logical. I bought a hybrid Corolla last year and I love it for my long drives to Rhode Island or rural Pennsylvania to see my daughter at uni or down to Windsor. I routinely get over 650km on 32-34L of gas.
Hybrids and plugin hybrids are the way to go now and into the next decade.

87% of passenger vehicles sold in Canada in 2024 were light trucks and SUVs.
14% of passenger vehicles sold in Canada in 2024 were ZEVs with half of those sold in Quebec.

In 2024, one in seven new vehicles sold in Canada were zero emission - Statistics Canada
In 2024, over 264,000 ZEVs were sold in Canada, valued at $17.3 billion. Unlike overall new sales, which hit their highest point in May, ZEV sales peaked in September, with 30,318 units sold.

Hopefully there’s a positive feedback loop whereby industry becomes more willing to invest in the preparatory work needed to generate major proposals.well Carney is winning over the industry, thats a good sign

Earlier I said I was reduced to hoping that Carney was just venial and not an idealogue, committed to his career and not his professed belefs.
Now I find myself wondering how long he is going to keep throwing fish to his trained seals from BC and Quebec before he feels secure enough in his job to let the public in on his Alberta intentions.

But all is not lost in Alberta land...

Alberta is quickly making its status as a tech hub known, with three new AI data centres proposed, and a fourth recently approved between Calgary and Edmonton.
American AI data centre developer Crusoe Energy has entered into a multi-year agreement with Kalina Distributed Power (KDP) to build multiple colocated AI data centres powered by natural gas, according to Alberta Major Projects.
Under the deal, Crusoe will develop, own, and operate the three proposed facilities while purchasing electricity from three KDP-owned gas-fired plants through 15-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
The projects have been proposed for:
Myers Energy Park, Red Deer County (65 acres)
Alsike Energy Park, Brazeau County (160 acres)
Crossfield Energy Park, Rocky View County (320 acres)
These sites will need a great deal of power to operate, and all three were chosen for their proximity to critical infrastructure, including gas pipelines, electricity transmission, fibre optic lines, and carbon sequestration hubs. Each project has an estimated cost of $1 billion.
“Our team has worked closely with Crusoe to develop a commercial path forward to keep pace with AI data centre market demand while capitalizing on the unique characteristics of the Alberta market to deliver reliable, affordable natural gas-fired power configured with CO₂ capture and sequestration,” said Kalina managing director Ross MacLachlan in a press release.
Construction has not yet started on any of the three projects.
In Red Deer County, a separate project by Havenz Smart Communities was recently approved for the Blindman Industrial Park.
The 120-acre site will feature a waterless, ultra-low-noise data centre with its own heat and power plant, along with a 10,800-square-foot modular facility and a 5,000-square-foot administration building. Once operational, the site is expected to employ five to seven people.
.....
Some takeaways
1 BCAD per project
~160 Acres
5-7 people
Terrawatt-hours of energy
70% of that will be waste heat from the generators
Much of the rest of it will be radiated as waste heat from the banks of servers.

One of the reasons for the interest in Alberta.
The new centers won't be buying from the grid.
They will be independent generators fuelled by low cost natural gas that Alberta can't seem to get rid of fast enough.
