Looking at Canadian census data for AB, I'm not sure what the correlation of owning an EV and having access to a garage would be, but it's not going to be a super common combination.
In those situations, how likely is someone to want to use potential vehicular range during a crisis and instead use it on juice for their home?
- klyrs 3y agoI have a garage and an EV, but we haven't had the budget for the necessary electrical work to power the house.
- Teever 3y agoYou don't think that the kind of person who can afford an electric car can afford a garage to put it in? Most, if not all new builds have attached garages in the Edmonton area.
- hammyhavoc 3y agoYou're completely forgetting the demographics of people who rent, live in apartments, lease cars etc. You're also assuming everybody wants an EV or feels it is appropriate for the distances they need to travel.
- Teever 3y agoAre there really that many apartment dwellers without access to a parkade in Alberta?
- sctb 3y agoLow-rise apartment buildings without parkades are very common in Calgary and (I assume) Edmonton. Block heaters, extension cords, and high-quality ice scrapers are standard fare.

It looks like most Albertans live in a place where they have access to a garage for their car. I would imagine that many Albertans who live in an apartment also don't drive, or have access to a parkade.
