Key Takeaways
- A family that adopts a few common clean energy solutions—including EVs and heat pumps—could knock $800 off their monthly energy bills, compared to one that is largely reliant on fossil fuels.
- A condo owner could save $450 a month by ditching fossil fuels from their daily lives.
- EVs are the biggest household money saver. Choosing a Chevrolet Bolt EV instead of a Toyota Corolla Hatchback would save a typical Canadian $33,600 over a 10-year ownership period.
- Most EVs with higher sticker price than gas equivalents repaid their extra purchase costs in less than a year through savings in fuel and maintenance.
Inflation. Extreme weather. The cost of living and climate change are top of mind for Canadians as they grapple with rising prices amid a summer defined by wildfire smoke and heat waves.
Fortunately, there is a common solution: clean energy. From electric vehicles to heat pumps, clean technologies have the power to fight climate change all while protecting your pocketbook.
