Good luck if you have an EV that's damaged or non drive able on the Island or any of the ferry only access islands.

Transport Canada change forces BC Ferries to prohibit damaged EVs
BC Ferries says that due to changes by Transport Canada, electric, hybrid and alternative energy vehicles are prohibited from charging up onboard vessels and on its properties.

Vehicles with minor or cosmetic damage that isn’t affecting wiring or the battery will be allowed at the discretion of the vessel master, so long as they are driven under their own power.

Vehicles with major damage including exposed batteries, fluid leaks or wiring issues won’t be allowed on board. That also includes vehicles that are placed on flat-bed trucks such as tow trucks.

BC Ferries does say full-sized commercial car carriers transporting operable and undamaged used or new vehicles to dealerships will be permitted.
