Research 

Project Title: Electric vehicle infrastructure design, optimization, and emission evaluations toward a full-scale net-zero transportation sector 

The project will address the growing challenges, strategies and future vision of electric vehicles. It will also assess the development approaches toward zero-emission transportation and society. 

The research project is funded by NSERC Alliance Mission Grant. 

Research Motivation

Transportation accounts for around 25% of Canada's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. 

Less than 6% of electric chargers are in the prairie region which makes EVs problematic for long trips. 

Charging queuing and cold weather are major concerns for urban EV travels. 

Canada’s mandate for net-zero by 2035 yet EVs still make up fewer than 5% of Canadian passenger vehicles.
