Households with a car will save money as EVs come down in price, and they pay less for fuel and maintenance. The report expects electric vehicles to reach price parity with gas-powered by 2050 or earlier.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile a majority of households will experience energy wallet savings under the full range of electricity rate scenarios, a significant portion of households will see increases in their energy wallet costs relative to today,\u201d said the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor these households, energy affordability concerns will grow absent mitigating supports or other policy interventions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report estimates that under low to medium electricity rates, 23 and 33 per cent of households will experience higher energy costs, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The median annual increase in their costs would be between $764 and $861.<\/p>\n<p>In the high-rate scenario, that share of households rises to 48 per cent, with an annual increase of over $1,000.<\/p>\n<p>The report stresses that while the transition to electricity is good news for most Canadians, support for those who will face rising costs is crucial to ensuring its success.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border article-content__ad-group ad_counter_4\">\n<section
