Debunking Myths: Setting the Record Straight on EVs in Nova Scotia
Recently, an editorial cartoon has been circulating that paints a rather misleading picture of electric vehicles (EVs) and the infrastructure supporting them. As champions of clean energy and a sustainable future, we at Nova Scotians Going Solar believe it’s crucial to correct such misconceptions and emphasize the importance of accurate information.
The Carbon Tax and Your Electric Bill
At Nova Scotians Going Solar, we aim to keep you informed about energy changes. With Nova Scotia Power passing the Carbon Tax to customers, electricity bills will increase significantly, starting at $65 per ton of CO2 in 2023 and rising to $170 per ton by 2030, leading to a 20.21% hike. For an average household using 829 kWh per month, the monthly cost will rise from $173.47 to $208.53 in 2024. The government plans to cover up to 50% of these costs through financial aids. Stay tuned with us for insights and solutions, highlighting solar energy as a safeguard against rising bills.
