CBC greenlights EV fleet overhaul as audience numbers collapse

Subhead:Canada's public broadcaster is seeking consultants to advise on building electric vehicle charging infrastructure at facilities across the country.# Canada’s taxpayer-funded state broadcaster is once again asking for more public money while finding cash to greenwash its vehicle fleet. According to a new procurement posting , CBC/Radio-Canada is seeking consultants to help electrify its “mid-size fleet” of approximately 600 vehicles and build EV charging infrastructure at facilities across the country. The contract request, titled “Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Advisory & Implementation,” outlines plans for a multi-year partnership involving contract negotiations, technical implementation, software configuration, and regulatory reporting tied to the Crown corporation’s electric vehicle rollout. CBC says it would prefer a single consulting firm to oversee the entire project, though it reserves the right to hand out multiple contracts to different specialists. The arrangement would begin as a one-year retainer agreement with three optional one-year renewals.
