Clean Energy Canada @cleanenergycanada.org · 09/04/2026

As you can see, EVs are the biggest driver of those cost savings—and with high gas prices and more EV affordable models on the horizon, their cost advantage is only growing. For example, the Chevrolet Equinox EV:

Electrification also transforms people's daily lives for the better—freeing up more of one's income once spent on energy for other things while delivering cleaner vehicles that charge while parked, as well as smarter, more efficient homes that don't have to pollute to keep those inside comfortable.

Clean Energy Canada @cleanenergycanada.org · 25/06/2025

The good news is that key electrification technologies are proving to be commercial successes, with the market for EVs and heat pumps already three times the size of that for wind turbines and solar panels. By 2035, this gap is expected to widen starkly.

Clean Energy Canada @cleanenergycanada.org · 25/06/2025

As @ember-energy.org's new analysis finds, 60% of primary energy for transport, buildings, and industry—like fuel for a diesel truck—is consumed before ever passing through the electricity sector. Clean electricity "cannot displace fossil fuels in these sectors unless end uses are electrified."

Clean Energy Canada @cleanenergycanada.org · 25/06/2025

🔌🚗 While less conspicuous than the global race to generate electricity from renewables, the race to electrify our lives and economies is equally pivotal. Both are underway, but electrification is further along—and the more consequential race today, says @ember-energy.org. 🧵👇

As @cagbc.org research shows, for an efficient building in a city with low-carbon electricity, embodied emissions are the greatest source of lifetime emissions. As Canada sets out to build millions of new homes, cleaner construction is necessary to minimize pollution.

Clean Energy Canada @cleanenergycanada.org · 09/04/2025

Using cleaner drywall, for instance, can achieve emissions reductions of up to 55% with consistently zero added material and budget costs. For structural steel, the climate impact is even greater.
