Electrical Engineer and EV Mobility Consultant. Specializes in battery thermal management, charging infrastructure, and the transition from combustion to electric vehicles in cold climates.
Dr. Aris Thorne holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering and has spent the last decade consulting for municipal fleets transitioning to electric mobility. Based in Vancouver but frequently testing in the interior, he bridges the gap between early adopter enthusiasm and the practical realities of Canadian driving. His technical expertise covers battery chemistry, thermal degradation, and the specific challenges of EV range loss in sub-zero temperatures. Dr. Thorne provides data-driven analysis on the cost of ownership, helping drivers calculate the true ROI of hybrids and EVs against fluctuating gas prices. He explains complex concepts like regenerative braking efficiency and Level 3 charging curves with clarity. His goal is to help Canadians make informed, mathematically sound decisions about electrification without falling for marketing hype or range anxiety.
