But the roadblocks to electrifying this crucial segment of the transport industry are numerous, and hard to overcome. </strong></p> <p>A host of reports, including by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) point out the benefits of switching to electric and the disadvantages of not doing so – even for MHDVs. </p> <h2>Negative effects</h2> <p>MDHVs are crucial for the economy of Ontario, with 14 million inhabitants Canada’s most populous province, and representing about 40% of the national GDP. They transport 90% of Ontario’s food supply, and carry two-thirds of Canada’s trade with the United States. </p> <p>Admittedly, long-distance heavy goods transport is a difficult industry segment to electrify, but the negative effects caused by the sector’s unquestioning continued reliance on using fossil fuels are starting to add up:</p> <ul> <li>Because manufacturers in Canada are slow to switch to electric alternatives, MDHV manufacturing in Canada is decreasing, resulting in job losses and shrinking global market shares. </li> <li>The continued reliance on fossil fuels for MHDVs has a major negative impact on both the environment and on public health, with the cost of respiratory ailments running into the billions, a study by the <a href="https://www.pembina.org/pub/helping-fleets-charge" target="_blank">Pembina Institute</a> finds.</li> </ul> <h2>Roadblocks to electrification</h2> <p>So, what is preventing Ontario’s MHDV sector to change gears and shift towards electrification? As it turns out, there are several roadblocks:</p> <ul> <li>A familiar obstacle is the sticker price, which is higher for an electric MHDV than for one with an internal combustion engine (ICE), typically a diesel. However, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for an e-MHDV is comparable to its diesel counterpart, because of government incentives, and because it is cheaper in operation (charging is cheaper than refuelling, maintenance costs are lower). </li> <li>Charging infrastructure remains an issue, with two different decision centers responsible for the rollout of the network: fleet operators are in charge of decisions for private depot charging infrastructure, while charging network providers remain responsible for the public charging stations. </li> <li>Several regulatory roadblocks are typical to Ontario, including rules prohibiting small fleet operators to buy and install charging gear, inconvenient processes of approval for charging stations, incompatible charging stations. </li> </ul> <h2>Lack of awareness</h2> <p>However, perhaps the most critical factor hampering the <a href="http://www.globalfleet.com/en/fleet-strategy/europe/features/emphasis-rapid-electrification?a=YHE11&t%5B0%5D=Fleet%20Europe&t%5B1%5D=Europe&curl=1">transition to electric</a> MHDVs in Ontario (and the rest of Canada) is a lack of awareness about the range of electric models and charging options available. </p> <p>A survey by Natural Resources Canada found that 40% of fleets in Canada are not fully aware of how an EV is recharged. And the ICCT states that “44% of small fleet operators and 60% of large fleet operators (>25 vehicles) indicated ‘unfamiliarity with technology’ as a key impediment to switching to electric MHDVs”.</p> </div> </div> <div class="author">Authored by: <b>Garcelle Hodge</b></div><div class="field-regions-with-themes field-name-field-channels"><div class="field-item"><a
