I made a video to support the EV movement here in NL and thought I'd share it here if anyone is interested. There's some pretty good views from around Newfoundland as we travelled from St. John's to Point Lance beach.

This weekend I originally planned to visit a recently constructed EV charging station in a small town here in NL. Recently, two level II charging stations were installed in the town of Marystown at a newly built recreational centre. The town's social media page, which was proud of the chargers, shared some photos of the chargers on FB and received a lot of flack for installing them. Lots of people calling them wastes of money as no one in Marystown has an EV, and that they money could have been spent better somewhere else.
I thought I could do my part by travelling out to the chargers to show that people will use them and they can also be looked at as a destination charger that would bring folks from out of town to the community who was subsequently spend money in the town. I was go to take video and pictures of the chargers but unfortneuly, when I called ahead, they had not been energized yet so that trip will have to wait.
I had everything packed and ready to go so I decided to make the best of it by travelling to a beach on the southern coast of NL and shoot some video. I also took some time to dispel some misconceptions that people here in NL have about EV's.
Hopefully people will enjoy it and maybe convince some people that EV's aren't the worst thing in the world
