That's a bit of a strange way of saying things. Salt Spring is an island; you can't get here without boarding a ferry! The trip to Victoria is a 35 minute ferry, followed by about 25 minutes by car or an hour by bus. The trip to Vancouver is between two and three and a half hours of ferry — depending on which route you take and on how many other islands the boat stops at — and then about 45 minutes of driving, or about 70 minutes by bus and light rail. That aside, it's a decent article. Jim Standen, the organizer of the informal electric car club, deserves a lot of the credit; he arranges public displays and EV enthusiast gatherings. With so many electrics, parking protocol is down with the ICE folks, and there are lots of charging stations. There's almost always one available when you need it.
