Ngaba Ukutshaja i-EV ngumbono wabaqeshi?

Ngaba Ukutshaja i-EV ngumbono wabaqeshi?

Umqeshi wase-Ottawa ukholelwa njalo, njengoko irenti yakhe ifaka umbane.

Kukho isisombululo esilula kulo mngcipheko, kodwa sidinga umqondo othile—owona ungaziva ungafumaneki kwiingxoxo phakathi kwabahlali nabaphathi. Njengoko ubunini be-EV bukhula, utshintsho oluncinci lungakwenza ukutshaja kube lula kwaye kubiza kancinci kubahlali ngelixa kuvikeleka abaphathi kwiindleko ezongezelelweyo. Le ndlela ifuna ukugxila kwixabiso elinye elinokwenza umahluko omkhulu.

UJoel Mac Neil, umphakathi wase-Ottawa, ubekutshaja iimoto zakhe zika-electronic (EV) kwi-complex yakhe ye-apartment, iPark West, iminyaka emithathu ngaphandle kwengxaki—de kube kuthe kwenzeka. UMac Neil uthi, ukusukela kokuba irenti yakhe ifaka umbane, kukwi zikhumbuzo zakhe, kodwa umphathi wakhe uyavuma.

Ngomhla we-7 kuMfumfu, umphathiswa wepropati wabona umgibeli we-EV kwi-parking space kaMac Neil kwaye waphosa i-outlets ezikufutshane, eqinisekisa ukuba abayi kuxhasa uhambo lwakhe.

UMac Neil ufumene imvume kumphathiswa wakhe wokurenta xa ethenga i-EV kwaye ukholelwa ukuba umphathi wakhe wenza into engalunganga. Ujolise kumphakathi wakhe njengengxaki enkulu abaninzi baseCanada abazakuya kuyo njengoko ubunini be-EV bukhula. “Bayi banini bezakhiwo, ngoko bacinga ukuba bangayenza into abayifunayo,” utshilo.

Iingxaki Zomphathi

Umphathi kaMac Neil, nangona kunjalo, unokubona umbono ohlukile. Ngenxa yokuba kukho umsebenzisi omnye we-EV kwi-bhodi, bangase bacinge ukuba akukho mfuneko yokujolisa kwiimfuno ze-mnqweno, bejolise kumngcipheko ongafunekiyo. Ngaphandle kokuba baphila ngokuhamba nge-EV, bangase bangayiqondi imiba ethile edibeneyo nokutshaja i-EV, eyahluke kakhulu kokugcwalisa itanki ye-gas kwaye ifuna umjikelo wokufunda.

Kungenzeka ukuba umphathi uphande ngeendlela kunye neendleko ezinxulumene nezinketho zokutshaja ezinemitha kwaye wafumanisa ukuba zixhaphakile. Iindleko zokufaka izikhumbuzo zokutshaja ezinemitha zingabiza kakhulu, kwaye bangaziva ukuba ukutshaja imali engama-$80—nangona ibiza ngaphezulu kokuba uMac Neil akwazi ukukhokhela—kubeka umphakathi kumgaqo wokubuyisela iindleko ukuba ekugqibeleni batshala kwiithuluzi.

Iindleko Zokutshaja i-EVs

URaymond Leury, umphathiswa we-Electric Vehicle Council of Ottawa (EVCO), uyayiqonda imeko kaMac Neil. Uthetha ukuba i-EVCO ifumene imibuzo efanayo kwiindawo zokuhlala. Ukutshaja i-EV kubiza malunga ne-$2 ngama-100 kilometers, kunye neendleko zonyaka ezijolise kumaxabiso angama-$25 ngenyanga.

EVCO inika ingcebiso yokuseta imali engama-flat yokutshaja. UMac Neil unikeze ukhokhela i-$20–$25 ngenyanga, kodwa umphathi wakhe uphakamise i-$80, eyayimkhumbuza kakhulu. Ngoku ubuyela kwiindlela zokutshaja ezahlukeneyo, nangona zenza kube nzima kumjikelo wakhe.

Ngaba Kukho Amalungelo?

Ngokwejaji lamalungelo abaQeshi e-Ottawa uDaniel Tucker-Simmons we-Avant Law, akukho mthetho uphakathi kokuphosa i-EV yokutshaja kwiindawo zokuhlala. Nangona kunjalo, ukusukela kokuba umgibeli kaMac Neil ufaka umbane ngaphandle kwesivumelwano se-EV kwaye ngaphambili ufumene imvume yokuthetha, unokuthi ube necase ukuba ufaka isicelo kwi-Board yeZindlu neZindlu yase-Ontario.

Ngaphandle kwemithetho, uTucker-Simmons uncoma abaQeshi ukuba baxoxe ngezidingo zokutshaja i-EV xa besayina isivumelwano kwaye bafumane imvume ebhaliweyo. Ngelixa abaphathi bekwi zikhumbuzo zabo zokuphosa ukutshaja i-EV kwezinye iimeko, ingxoxo evulekileyo inganceda ukunciphisa iingxaki phambili.

Ushintsho lweMbono: Ukuthembana kunye neNgcaciso engama-Mali

Ngokwenene, kukho isisombululo esilula, esingabizi kakhulu esijolise ekuthembaneni. Ngomqondo ofanelekileyo, abaphathi nabahlali bangafikelela kumxhelo olungileyo ngaphandle kokufuna izikhumbuzo ezibizayo okanye iingxaki zomthetho. EVnSteven iyenza le nto ibe yinyani ngokuvumela abaQeshi abathembekileyo ukuba bakwazi ukutshaja i-EVs zabo ngokulula ngelixa bejolise kwiindleko ezincinci zombane—ngokufikelela kumphakathi ngaphandle kweendleko eziphezulu okanye iingxaki.

Ngoko ke mhlawumbi umbuzo ophambili akukhona nje malunga namalungelo abaQeshi. Mhlawumbi umgca kufuneka uhambe kwiindlela zokufumana izisombululo ezibiza kancinci ezivumela abaphathi nabahlali ukuba baphumelele, bephumelela bonke. Ukuba sijolise ngaphandle kwemigangatho yokuphosa, singenza indlela ezahlukeneyo, ezisebenzisanayo zokwenza ukutshaja i-EV kube lula kubo bonke.
