This report, the flagship 2025 publication of EMC’s Utilities Working Group, aims to enhance stakeholder understanding of utility planning for medium- and heavy-duty vehicle (MHDV) electrification across Canada.
It provides an initial national assessment of MHDV adoption over the next one and a half decades by vehicle class and use case, and the resulting grid load, based on evidence from previous research and available data.
These findings serve as a conversation starter, and the framework will be refined in future iterations with more stakeholder input, more granular data, and additional regional analysis.
