IS SASKATCHEWAN'S ELECTRIC HIGHWAY TRUCKED UP OR TOTALLY F***ED UP?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer embarks on a cross-Canada tour testing Saskatchewan's electric vehicle infrastructure with an F-150 Lightning. The primary takeaway is that while urban centers like Saskatoon and Prince Albert offer decent charging options, the vast distances between them, coupled with frequent headwinds, make inter-city travel extremely challenging and anxiety-inducing. The reviewer highlights issues with charger reliability, slow charging speeds on non-Tesla networks, and the prohibitive cost of using Tesla Superchargers as a non-Tesla owner. The lack of a robust, widespread fast-charging network across the province leads to the conclusion that Saskatchewan fails to earn the 'Trucked Up Stamp of Approval' due to insufficient, unreliable, and infrequent infrastructure, particularly outside major cities. The reviewer expresses disappointment with the provincial utility, SaskPower, for not proactively supporting EV adoption.
