🔋♻️ B.C.-based Moment Energy is opening what it says will be the world’s largest EV battery repurposing facility in Surrey.
The facility is expected to create more than 100 jobs and produce up to 1 GWh of energy storage capacity annually.
☀️📈 A new analysis from Ember finds solar generation grew by a record 636 TWh in 2025—17 times more than gas generation growth.
Solar alone supplied roughly 75% of new global electricity demand growth last year, while gas contributed just 5%.
⚡️ Road-tripping in an EV just got a little easier.
InnVest Hotels—the largest hotel owner in Canada—is rolling out more than 300 EV charging ports across its portfolio, with chargers expected at all of its hotels by the end of 2026.
