A Yellowknife man bought a fully electric truck, expecting to install the 80 amp Level 2 charger it came with at his home. Then he found out he’d need to pay $12,000 to upgrade a transformer in his neighbourhood to make it work.

    He clearly didn’t do his research and now he’s bitching about paying to make it work.

    I do find it unrealistic to pay to upgrade a transformer. That’s the utility’s job ffs.

    At least he can use a regular outlet until then but he should have asked more questions before buying an expensive electric truck.
