Many people understand that EVs can fulfill their driving requirements. But there still are concerns over the environmental and social justice implications of ditching their internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle for an EV. A new University of Guelph study (Benefits and Barriers to Electric Vehicle Adoption in the City of Guelph) highlights many of the common concerns like range, availability and price, that can be relatively easily addressed. However, it also shows that many early environmental adopters haven't seen adequate information on the environmental and social justice implications to make the move to an EV.

From busy exam schedules, to balancing coursework, jobs and relationships, to navigating the everyday stresses of university life, students face many factors that can impact their health and wellbeing. But for some, especially BIPOC students, lack of financial access to nutritious, culturally-appropriate food to fuel their busy days adds an additional layer of worry and challenge, particularly in light of COVID-19, and the additional impacts on affordability it has had for many.
