    Each village has homes that need repairs; I hope each village councilor gets out there door to door to see the homes that require 100% retro fit IE. Entrance Stairs, doors, kitchen, bathroom, living room, bed rooms, bath rooms, Aiyansh village done one home for 100 grand 2023 complete repair, windows, doors, stairs, living room, bathroom, kitchen, basement, outside stairs, back entrance stairs, already . Every village in Nass deserves same 100 grand repair. I seen electrical, how homes went from 100 amp to 200 amp within couple years. I have not seen ppl get any renovations when they have written letters and are in clear need of it. All village has done was call the homes CONDEMED, when home owner had requested for repairs years before. Than removing the home owner to a trailer, not a home. still not right with that transfer, A Used trailer is not same as a home build. The homes should be built on same lot or repair home on the lot not move ppl around, They still have the certificate for the land. AND what year is the trailers?

    He did not understand the question about auxiliary mini split . The efficiency is lower for 3 ton heat pump than for 2 tons by 10- 15 percent . So my plan is to install a 2-ton heat pump plus a 9000 BTU mini split with 30 percent higher efficiency than the main heat source. By doing so, I can run efficiently mini split in shoulder seasons without cycling of biger system

    I have a question regarding station queuing. I see charging stations at IKEA and malls and I wonder if the when the car is charged up but the owner is still shopping can another driver remove the charging “gun” out of the other persons car and start charging their car, or are they out of luck till the person returns from shopping ?

  • @592257001

    If the chargers are not free to use, please consider charging consumers based on $/kWh and not $/min.

  • @gordongilbertson943
    @gordongilbertson943 5 років тому

    Please consider the intersection of highway 1 and 40 (Stoney Nakoda) as a possible location. It would allow people recreating in K-Country to do so with much more confidence.

    • @BryceCampbell
      @BryceCampbell 5 років тому

      Looks like there will be some more units on Hwy1 - will fill in the Golden BC to Calgary gaps!

  • @gordongilbertson943
    @gordongilbertson943 5 років тому

    What charging rates will be supported, It looks like 50kw chargers is the max from the supplier. Not very future proof if the infrastructure does not support 100-150.

    • @BryceCampbell
      @BryceCampbell 5 років тому

      A 50 kw DC charger is still better then a L2 AC unit -- once the infrastructure is started, and they see people using them they'll be upgraded! A lot of the times the limiting factor on EV chargers is that the electrical grid in the area cannot support the high draws, in BC we have quite a few locations like this, where the L3 units are only about a L2.5 - but its a start and will improve overtime
