Arctic EV
experiment.

One car.
Four panels.
Minus 45.

Welcome to the Canadian Arctic. Jeremy Hart travels to the Northwest Territories, near Yellowknife, where electricians install one of the most extreme EV charging points on Earth, bolted directly onto the ice.

With four 450W solar panels, an EcoFlow Delta 3 battery inverter and an Easee charger, the team attempts to power a Subaru Solterra using nothing but Arctic sunshine.

This is not a stunt. Isolated northern communities, Indigenous Inuit populations and even military patrols rely heavily on expensive flown in fossil fuels. If solar EV charging works here, above the 66th parallel, it could transform energy independence in the High Arctic.

16DS producer Marc Bow joined global PR agency Timbuktu Content to create this short film that was distributed to news networks around the world.
