Sales of electric cars soar but Canada still nowhere near 500,000 goal set in 2009

Soar LOL

Maybe it's because they're still expensive as fuck?

How can sales both soar and dramatically fail to meet goals?

Only off by a factor of 5. The enviro nutjobs are good at exaggeration. Remember the 50,000 jobs the Green Energy Act was going to create. Only created a few thousand. And they want us to trust their carbon tax ploy. Don’t think so. onpoli cdnpoli

A decade and only about 100k sold...and that is with heavy rebates and subsidies. What a joke!

Perhaps they thought these cars would come a dime a dozen?

if there are not that many electric cars on the road now, then there is never going to be electric cars___its evident___people will not give up trucks and boy toys, thanks for trying guys but its not going to happen__

If the libs want to buy me an electric car, I’ll drive it.

According to MSM, a free market does only two things: soar and plunge.

When the make one that will go from Ottawa to Toronto and back with a low charge time during the winter time then perhaps you guys may have a story. Till then just a waste of money.

Soar?

don't knock it till ya drive one.....as soon as the cost has levelled out due to the exchange rate we are getting one

Not enough lithium/cobalt mines to support the demand anyway (shortages experienced in 2018). Also, where is outrage on human rights issues related to the mining of cobalt?

This government only has 1 lever to pull. New taxes on non electric-cars. Will it help? No. Would they do it? Only if they buy their own climate rhetoric

Who cares - our goal NOW is to get rid of our stupid PM in 2019!!

Do they make a reasonably priced truck that can tow things and are there chargers in the middle of nowhere or do I just not go anywhere beyond the city limits

Crazy how many people will drink the Koolaid imo

Doug Ford killed EV’s! He withdrew rebates! Thought he was a business guy?

Electric car sales soaring but Canada still nowhere near goal set in 2009Although more electric cars were sold in Canada in 2018 than in the previous three years combined, they still accounted for about two per cent of the vehicles sold overall and there are only about 100,000 of them on the road. If we can buy a pipeline we can subsidize electric cars. True, a pipeline that will create temp jobs for a bit to get oil to the east coast which we will, in turn, go to the Big Oil companies that aren't situated in Canada which sell the oil anyhow to other countries like the U.S. so they can sell back to Canada for a profit, Too expensive!
