A Yellowknife man bought a fully electric truck, expecting to install the 80 amp Level 2 charger it came with at his home. Then he found out he’d need to pay $12,000 to upgrade a transformer in his neighbourhood to make it work.

He clearly didn’t do his research and now he’s bitching about paying to make it work.
I do find it unrealistic to pay to upgrade a transformer. That’s the utility’s job ffs.
At least he can use a regular outlet until then but he should have asked more questions before buying an expensive electric truck.
Didn’t read the article, eh? Nor the room, it seems.
Assuming from nothing eh?
He’s assuming based of you suggesting the guy in the article do something less great than what he actually ended up doing.
Pretty dumb assumption then.
