Road Trip host Marco Chown Oved is back for a surprise bonus episode where he visits the new factory announcement in Port Colborne, Ont. that's filling in the missing link in Ontario's EV supply chain. Plus, he goes for a drive in a Tesla with Canada's Innovation Minister François-Philippe Champagne.

Toronto Star photographer Steve Russell and climate change reporter Marco Chown Oved went on a road trip through northern Ontario in the dead of winter. It was cold, blizzarding and icy. They travelled 2,300 km during the coldest week of the year. And they did it in an electric vehicle (EV).
