Welcome to a new season of Cleantech Forward, a podcast powered by Foresight Canada. This season, we’re exploring the challenges, opportunities, and real-world solutions shaping the future of clean transportation in British Columbia.
Hosted Foresight CEO, Jeanette Jackson, we’ll talk to leaders, innovators, and industry experts tackling transportation decarbonization—from consumer vehicles to commercial fleets and heavy industry. They’re not just talking about ideas, they’re breaking through barriers and developing actionable solutions.
Kicking off the new season, our first episode dives into the most viable solutions for expanding our EV charging infrastructure so we can get more electric vehicles on the road and emit fewer greenhouse gases. It turns out some of the most promising shared EV charging solutions are being tested right now on university and college campuses across BC.
Jeanette is joined by industry experts Randy Zadra, Clean Transportation Advisor in Foresight’s BC Net Zero Innovation Network, and David Agosti, Director of Parking and Sustainable Mobility at Simon Fraser University. Together, they discuss the EV Charging Alliance, a Foresight working group helping campuses become shared-use EV charging hubs—serving residents, fleets, and communities alike.
We look at how these collaborative, mixed-use models could be the key to unlocking scalable, cost-effective EV infrastructure across the province and beyond.
