The government is encouraging Canadians to switch to EVs and heat pumps to fight climate change. But many CBC News readers have asked: won’t electrifying everything break the grid and drive up energy costs? Here’s what electricity operators and those researching the transition say.
Damn right. Houses are always built as cheaply as possible and they need to really increase the standards we build our houses to.

Thats the smallest contribution to housing prices so too bad I say.
