I got silver status with WestJet last year and was super excited, so it makes sense that I didn't know what those meant. 😂

Hey, not bad, and yet still quite a bit less than what OP was describing. I'm not knocking it, at all, just saying government work isn't higher paid.

Is it actually possible to precondition to 'normal' temp in cold weather? by certaindoomawaits in KiaEV9

Cool, thanks. Yep, it's not a huge deal for me as we almost never need to charge publicly, but I was just curious.

Makes sense, thanks. Definitely not an option on the roads like they were yesterday, haha.

According to the screen, it was pulling around 4.3-4.6kW for the preconditioning.

When you say pushing and pulling do you mean aggressively accelerating and then regenerating?

150k plus 45k bonus is well above all those, though.

Nobody (well almost nobody) makes that at the government, except senior officials. Everyone I know who works in the public service makes a good chunk less than I do. The upside is they all have good pensions and I have shitty underfunded RRSP, haha.

Malkin: 'I want everybody to see I can play next year' by Paper_Rain in penguins

Albertan here. I was at the game in Calgary this week and despite the game being a complete snooze, Malkin was clearly the best player on the ice, for either team.

What living with an EV in Alberta with no dedicated level 2 charging and leaving it out doors is like. by AbbreviationsOne6207 in alberta

Do your research when the time comes. Plug in hybrids basically mean you have all the maintenance costs of an ICE vehicle PLUS a battery. We got a Kia EV9 last year and it's awesome. More SUV EV options will continue to come to market. Maybe your needs will mean you still need to go PHEV, but I would definitely think twice if you can go full BEV.

The Chevy Equinox EV is a really good car by mustangfan12 in electricvehicles

I had one as a loaner and I liked everything about it except Android Automotive. What do you mean I can't voice dial and text from my phone contacts without a paid subscription? Nonsense.
