Jessica Tait, Sustainable Transportation Manager with Indigenous Clean Energy, helps First Nations and businesses plan for the upcoming transition to more electric vehicles on our roads. Canada's Electric Vehicle Availability Standard sets sales targets for new zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs), and by 2035, 100% of new light duty vehicles sold in Canada will be ZEVs. In our conversation, we talked about why working towards ZEV adoption and ZEV infrastructure is important for economic development and the wellbeing of First Nations, special considerations when installing ZEV chargers in First Nations, and how ZEV champions from our Anishinabek Nation communities have successfully adopted ZEV technology. Jessica will be at the upcoming Anishinabek Nation Economic Development Opportunities Forum (ANEDO) this October (2025) to share resources about ZEV vehicle options and ZEV charging infrastructure, and will also offer ZEV test drives in partnership with Plug'n Drive! This podcast is produced by the Communications Department at the Anishinabek Nation. Transcript: https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/7xac37bhcjeqrr29/2025-08-15_S2E06_ANEDO_ICE_TAIT_Transcript.pdf
