  • Electric Vehicle Technology Roadmap for Canada
    Electric Vehicle Technology Roadmap for Canada A strategic vision for highway-capable battery-electric, plug-in and other hybrid-electric vehicles Produced with funding from the Recycled paper Letter from the Chair of the Industry Steering Committee The race is on! The world is racing towards electric traction as the principal means of sustaining the comfort, convenience, and efficiency of the transportation systems used in our modern life. Canada is in a race with other countries to achieve the industrial, societal, and environmental benefits of electric vehicles. We started the race in a good position, with abundant renewable electric power and with Canadian companies and researchers leading the way in developing exciting new technologies. However, we have not maintained our competitive advantage while transitioning from research to commercialization. We have allowed other countries’ companies and governments to overtake us in setting aggressive goals and investing in achieving them—in getting green vehicles on the road and shaping the future of a new auto industry. It is not too late. If we act now, we can regain a strong position in bringing electric vehicles to market and achieve the full benefits of this burgeoning industry, including the commercialization of globally leading Canadian technology and the creation of high-end, knowledge-based jobs in Canada. The deployment of electric vehicles will also reduce fuel consumption and improve urban air quality while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Achieving these benefits requires immediate action and investment by both governments and industry or it will simply be impossible to meet the 2018 target of at least 500 000 electric vehicles on Canadian roads set out in the Roadmap.

Wolfe Innovation Policy Lab, Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy University of Toronto 1 Devonshire Place Toronto ON M5S 3K7 https://munkschool.utoronto.ca/ipl/ ABSTRACT The global automotive industry is currently experiencing the greatest disruption it has faced in over a century. The advent of connected, autonomous and electric vehicles and the popularity of ride sharing services are transforming the industry to one that is increasing referred to as transportation as a service (TaaS), transforming the customer experience and potentially shifting the entire industry sector away from private modes of transportation. Substantial uncertainty exists as to whether traditional automotive hubs in Automotive Alley will remain central to the growing digitization of the automotive industry or whether they will be replaced by new geographies with greater strength in digital technologies. This paper explores the extent to which efforts currently underway in the southern Ontario automotive cluster to meet the challenge of digitization in the auto industry are laying the foundations for a process of new path creation or modernization and institutional reconfiguration.
