B.C. Low-Carbon Fuel Act supports EV charging infrastructure

Electric Mobility Canada welcomes the modernization of British Columbia’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (BC-LCFS) through the recently tabled Bill 15 (Low Carbon Fuels Act). The new Act, which received Royal Assent on June 2, helps clarify the role that fueling with electricity plays in reducing emissions from B.C.’s transportation sector. Once its subsidiary regulations are proposed and published later this year, the Low Carbon Fuels Act will not only support the deployment of critical electric vehicle charging infrastructure across the province, but will also open new opportunities for B.C. businesses and consumers to significantly lower their fuel costs by using clean, made-in-B.C. electric fuel.
