Weather: each vehicle uses its own hot, normal and cold factor from our vehicle data, so consumption = efficiency x 1.00 / factor. Hot is 25 °C and above, normal is 10-25 °C, cold is below 10 °C.

EV charging analysis

Edmonton’s cold climate compounds this challenge, as low temperatures can reduce EV battery range by up to 30 to 40 percent, meaning drivers may need to charge more frequently than in milder regions. The station count appears insufficient to support a large urban population, especially if EV uptake grows. Without a higher density of stations, commuters and long-distance travelers face potential range anxiety, and the current infrastructure likely serves only early adopters or those with workplace charging access.
