2017 Electric Vehicle Award Winners

Canadian Electricity Association

Plug’n Drive and the Canadian Electricity Association (CEA) have announced the winners of the 2017 Electric Vehicle Awards. The winners were recognized during an awards reception at the Electric Vehicle Discovery Centre in Toronto.

The Electric Vehicle Awards recognize car dealerships that combine impressive sales, marketing efforts, community outreach activities and point of sale promotions to actively increase the number of electric vehicle customers on the road. Electricity companies are rewarded on the merits and impacts of utility-led electric vehicle programs and initiatives in their service areas.

The winners were selected by a panel of top Canadian electric vehicle industry experts from across the non-profit, academic, automobile and electricity sectors. This year’s winners are:

  • Bourgeois Chevrolet, Leading Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Dealership Award
  • Campus Nissan, Leading Battery Electric Vehicle Dealership Award
  • Green Rock E.V.S., Leading Electric Vehicle Dealership Inspiration Award
  • Hydro Québec, Tom Mitchell Electric Vehicle Leadership Award

Electric vehicles represent the potential for significant emissions reduction. Emitting up to 90 per cent less greenhouse gas emissions than equivalent gas cars, these vehicles are a crucial element in helping Canada meets its climate change action goals.
