Moving, Forward Together - Our EV Journey

From electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids to micromobility options and service fleet upgrades, we’re helping British Columbians get where they need to go. Through Evo, Evolve, and BCAA Roadside Assistance, we’re expanding access to convenient and flexible transportation while evolving our fleet and services to include more electrified and hybrid vehicle options.


Shared Mobility

This year Evo, created by BCAA, celebrated 10 years of helping British Columbians get where they need to go. Evo has even become a verb: we Evo to the game, to the store, to work, and on weekend adventures. Over the past decade, Evo has transformed urban mobility, making transportation more convenient, flexible, and affordable, while continuing to expand electric options across the fleet.

As part of this milestone year, Evo’s fully electric vehicles collectively drove 340,339 kilometers. We also added 10 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), further diversifying Evo’s mixed hybrid and electric lineup of 15 fully electric vehicles. This growth supports ongoing testing of charging infrastructure and operational readiness as we plan for future expansion.

Beyond car sharing, Evolve E-bike and E-Scooter Share, also created by BCAA, continued to grow, offering more ways for people to connect the “first and last mile” of their journeys. This year, Evolve launched in Saanich, the North Shore, Squamish, and Langford, and introduced E-Scooters in Nanaimo and the Cowichan Valley Regional District, giving more communities access to flexible ways to move, travelling a total of 422,100 kilometers in 2025.

Roadside Assistance Gets a Boost

BCAA Mobile Battery Service Van

We’ve continued to expand electric integration within our BCAA Auto Service fleet. This year, we added two additional Ford F-150 Lightning trucks, an electric Chevrolet Silverado, and—our biggest addition yet—our first BrightDrop electric van dedicated to Battery Service!

We're keeping our BCAA Roadside Assistance and Auto Service Technicians up to date with enhanced training on servicing electric vehicles. As EVs become more common on the road, we want to be prepared to lend a hand wherever we’re needed.

Daryl Ashe, BCAA Road Assist Fleet Technician, shares his experience being one of the first to drive BCAA’s new electric Member service vehicles.

When I started at BCAA over 20 years ago, I never thought I’d be driving around in a truck that didn’t need gas, with a trunk where the engine should be, delivering service to our Members when and where they need us.

When the opportunity came up to be one of the first drivers for BCAA’s newest Ford F150 Lightning electric Member Service trucks, I jumped at it. I love trying out new technology and this was a perfect chance to figure out new ways to help our Members on the roadside, while testing how electric trucks can support a more efficient service.
