At some point in my life, I suspect either my wife or I will own an electric vehicle. They are elegant pieces of technology.

But the Trudeau government’s goal of having 60 per cent of new vehicles sold in Canada be electric by 2030 is laughable.

Each year, Canadians and Canadian companies bought about 1.7 million new vehicles. Last year, fewer than 80,000 were electric or hybrid gas-electric.If we are to be at the level of one million new EVs a year just eight years from now, EV sales will have to increase at a rate that will see 3.5 million or more electrics sold in Canada between now and then.Article content

We’ve seen the Trudeau government’s magical projection for how many new electric vehicles there will be overnight, but where are the applications for new nuclear plants? Where are the blueprints and environmental assessments for scores of new dams?

I wish they'd work even HARDER at getting quantities of refueling stations up&running reliably Encouraging 1000s of EVs isn't the sticking point. Troublesome refueling IS a problem. Focus on swift, reliable available recharging in safe areas to refuel. Dark Isolated Vulnerable Kickbacks for their wealthy friends. More Liberal grift.

Bring back 14k rebates Right, let’s give rebates to the upper-middle class and upper class, mostly paid for by the folks in the lower-middle class. The same people paying for these rebates are the ones who could never afford the damn cars themselves. Absolute madness. We should be subsidizing ebikes, not more luxury cars
