The Canadian Government's Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) program, aimed at promoting electric vehicles (EVs) with a $5,000 rebate, has been paused. This program has facilitated over half a million zero-emission vehicle sales since 2019. Despite challenges faced by some high-profile EV projects in Canada, Minister of Transport Anita Anand expressed delight in the program's success and the government's commitment to combating climate change. Meanwhile, global EV sales are expected to grow by around 20% in 2024, indicating a continued upward trend. In contrast to Ottawa's focus on EVs, Alberta is actively investing in hydrogen-powered vehicles. The province is working on developing hydrogen fuelling infrastructure, including stations in Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan, as well as installing production and distribution facilities. Alberta's move towards hydrogen aligns with the province's commitment to reducing vehicle emissions. The article also mentions the attendance of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Energy Minister Brian Jean at the opening of the province's first commercial hydrogen fuelling station near Edmonton, demonstrating a shift towards hydrogen as a fuel source for vehicles.
