“This is actually a far cry from how many vehicles we would ideally like to get in in 2023,” city staff said.
After facing multiple delays in procuring electric vehicles, Burnaby now has a contract to purchase 27 EVs for its fleet.
“We are cautiously optimistic that they will be able to deliver 27 vehicles during 2023,” the city’s general manager of engineering, Jozsef Dioszeghy, told councillors at the meeting. “And this is actually a far cry from how many vehicles we would ideally like to get in in 2023.”He said the city “rightly” anticipated the electric vehicle industry would be able to supply about 100 EVs when the city built its 100-stall EV parking lot.
In 2023, the city requested proposals for 30 Kia Niros, or an equivalent alternative, and TransCan Leasing bid with the 27 Chevy Bolts. That was the bid accepted by council in March.The city’s fleet had about 760 vehicles total, according to city reports from December of last year.
