Do you live in a rural community? Whether you are an electric vehicle enthusiast, hesitant, or curious about making the switch, we want to hear from you!

By 2035, 100% of new passenger vehicle sales in Canada will be zero-emissions. To help us understand the unique needs of our rural communities and better support this transition, we have two surveys to help steer us in the right direction.

For Current Electric Vehicle (EV) Drivers:

Tell us about your experience! How are you using your EV or hybrid vehicle? What made you decide to go electric, and what information could help others in our community make the switch?

For Non-Electric Vehicle Drivers:

We’re interested in your perspective too! Whether you're curious, hesitant, or simply exploring options, your feedback will guide us in creating resources and experiences to empower you to make informed decisions about electric vehicles.

🎁 Take the survey for your chance to win a $250 gift card to a locally-owned restaurant of your choice!

Buckle up and let’s get started!


This project is funded in part by the Government of Canada. Ce projet est financé en partie par le gouvernement du Canada.


What We Heard

Thank you to everyone who shared their insights! Survey and Focus Groups Findings are available for review.

    • An interview-style segment where you can share your experiences, insights, and thoughts on EV ownership
    • Visual storytelling to help inspire and inform others about the benefits and realities of making the switch to electric

    The final video will be shared on County of Dufferin promotional channels to help engage the community and encourage broader awareness of sustainable transportation.
