Planning ahead made for a smooth trip from Toronto to Nova Scotia, and scoring Taylor Swift tickets

unfolded over three days with my 14-year-old daughter in early August, when we whittled down the 1,830-kilometre journey to Nova Scotia from Toronto with a pleasant mix of conversation topics.

So, my EV delivered a 60-per-cent discount. Not bad, but not great when you consider that the trip could have been cheaper if all charging stations were working properly or there were more charging options. Based on the distance that charge would take me – 160 kilometres under ideal conditions – that’s close to the cost of gas to travel the same distance. A car with a fuel efficiency of nine litres per 100 kilometres would consume 14.4 litres at an average of $1.75 a litre, or $25.20.

For me, those hours were sometimes a nuisance but not a problem. I wasn’t in a particular rush, and I could use a rest every 200 kilometres or so. Other EV owners I encountered didn’t appear too fussed about the waiting times either. You simply have to factor in occasional delays and hope charging networks improve. I’m confident they will.
