Canada's most populous provinces are falling behind many U.S. states when it comes to building fast charging stations for electric vehicles, a CBC News analysis shows, raising questions about whether this country's infrastructure is ready for a transition to cleaner energy.

I don't really know the area or charger quality, but there's a 50kW Ivy station in Geraldton, a total of 38km away from Longlac, Ont.

    I picked Longlac because there's a long stretch of pretty-much-nothing to the east of it until Calstock (Geraldton's to the west). Even if you're driving an ICE vehicle, you want to keep an eye on your gas if you're up that way. You'd need to be even more careful if you were driving an electric on a -36C January morning. Maybe one of the handful of campgrounds or tourist resorts along that stretch has a charger (if they don't, they should get some put in, 'cause they'd probably make a killing).
