Good for you.

What are these types of vehicles made out of and how is that stuff made? Who makes it? What is the life of the batteries and what happens to them? How much to replace them? Will these types of vehicles be affordable to average people the way the gasoline automobile was?

EVs are fun to drive w instant acceleration. They're cheap to recharge ($6-9), 4 times as efficient (100+ MPGe) & need min maintenance. You'll save $10-15k on fuel & repairs over 5 yrs. Also great in the winter, always starts & heat comes on instantly, no waiting for cold engine

IDIOTS!!

Keep on selling the agenda.

LOL. Does CBC have any ideea where electricity comes?

Meanwhile, Ottawa just bought a fleet of diesel trains

Let me know when you will realize a ROI on this woke virtue signaling venture

Brilliant! Our trucks in this country follow the US model which means they are old and archaic.

We're running out of infrastructure to maintain these electric vehicles. Maybe they'll force us to shut our air conditioners down to fuel electric vehicles

LOL! Dr. Frankenstein would approve EVsRunOnCoal

Great. Now do the other 10 million in Canada.

“Showcase “

How much diesel fuel and child labor was used to get the minerals needed? Lots.

article forgot to mention every EV need 70 pounds of coal to charge it once

Price of truck, price if conversion. Let's see the numbers and then we would say, WTF ARE YOU THINKING?

Lol, assuming you have not seen Gotham Garage series. They already have done this conversion. 🤣

Plugging into a fossil fuel power grid. Brilliant.
