Hey All,

Apologies for the lack of posting. It's been a crazy end to the year and the major part of our Canada-wife campaign.

We've had our heads down working on plans and projects for 25, and are about to embark on a winter journey to showcase Rocky's capabilities through mountainous terrain.

While we 'gear up' for that, I thought I'd get some pictures up from our trip back to Edmonton this December before New Years.

See you all on the slopes!

Wow. That would be amazing driving on a stretch of road and seeing the battery level rising on straight ground

Sweden has made history as the first country in the world to install permanent electrified roads that can charge electric vehicles while they are driving 🚗⚡. This groundbreaking technology involves embedding electric rails into the road surface, allowing EVs equipped with a special connector to recharge their batteries seamlessly on the move. Known as "e-roads," this innovation is part of Sweden's ambitious goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045 and revolutionize sustainable transportation 🌍.

The electrified road system not only reduces the need for frequent charging stops but also minimizes dependency on large onboard batteries, making EVs more efficient and accessible. Sweden's initiative sets a powerful example for other nations, demonstrating how smart infrastructure can drive the shift toward a greener, more sustainable future 🌱.

Ric n Nic (and Rocky!) Venture North

A few images from our trek up the magnificent Cassiar highway! Once a very challenging EV route with very little services and no cell reception, now fully covered with a network of new BC Hydro fast chargers, and a couple Freewires. We only found one that wasn't functioning, in Good Hope Lake, but all others were fantastic and set up with Starlink internet. This wifi allows drivers to use charging aps to initiate a session, and also provides a major safety net for travelers to have access to internet on the road! This is such an exciting installation, and we are thrilled to be among some of the first EVs to charge up the Cassiar!

Stunning landscape. We just missed the bears and the salmon run by a couple weeks, but there was plenty of evidence of their presence.

Stay tuned as we continue north!
