The next day, Jon and his mom, Diane, set out on their first cross-Canada road trip in an electric pickup truck. They took the Swartz Bay Ferry to Tsawwassen on the BC mainland, and they were on their way across Canada."

By staying connected to the community of early electric vehicle adopters, I caught this story as it was happening. I interviewed Jon and Diane to write about their cross-Canada EV road trip experience.
