BC hydro does not reflect the whole country. In NB we pay close to $.14/kWh, and as I said that's going up this year, and the next. PEI and NS are even more, so already today we are seeing ~$40 a charge. That's with just a handful of people driving EVs. Our province needs another power station, we sell a lot of power to Maine.

Across the border in Maine it's ~.36/kWh which is getting close to your $100 a charge, granted Maine is not Canada.

As electricity demand goes up, gas demand will go down and according to economics it will just get cheaper.
