  3. Solar panels on the roof were installed at the end of May. This is my electricity consumption chart from BCHydro over the last week.

    Dark blue is from last year. Light blue is this year. Excited to see how much of a difference this will make on my electric bill. #SolarPower #BCHydro #Okanagan

  8. BC Hydro has announced it will add 8500 gigawatt hours per year from solar and wind over two years. They will come online by 2033 and boost the capacity by 13%. Most of it with better than 50% First Nations ownership.

    Site C was over $10 Billion and produces 5100GWh annually.

    Also by comparison, there is no Pipeline project and no First Nations have bought Transmountain.

  18. The other reason I don’t use BCHydro is that I have RFID keychain tags for ChargePoint, that I can tap at the chargers to pay for the session. This can be handy if you run into a connectivity issue with the app.

  26. One of the things that bothers me about public EV charging is the way most companies are set up as a pre-pay system, whereby you ‘load’ your account with funds prior to charging. This means that the company is always in possession of your money for a service they have not yet provided. The best solution I’ve found was to use one provider (ChargePoint) who has reciprocal agreements with virtually every other charging provider around here (including BC Hydro) so I only have to top up one account vs. having balances with many.

    Enter BCHydro. This morning I’ve received three emails from them because apparently I have an outstanding negative balance of $1.86. (This would have been because a charging session went over the available balance on my account). I went to the app, as instructed, to pay the balance but the minimum amount they will let me top up my account with is $10.

    Sure, I could just pay it, and leave the $8.14 in there in perpetuity, but fuck that! Why should they get to hang onto that money?

    I’ve emailed them asking them to provide another way for me to pay the outstanding balance. We’ll see how that goes…

  30. Charging for the drive home at the new bank of #bchydro chargers at the end of the #yyj runway in Sydney by the Sea. Awaiting the return of the son from Ottawa.

    Last time I was here, @Tree 's plane flew right over us as we were charging... it was 20m early 😂

    (son's flight was delayed 1.5hrs today due to "connecting passengers")
