Great for city driving... the rest of us are in the country.... never gonna happen!

ctvottawa Batteries do not operate the same way in the cold as they do in Vancouver or L.A. 14hrs plugged in to get 49% charge over night on the new BMW i3. Turn on the heater to warm the battery and remove ice. You have less than 40% battery life. Hybrids may work, not full EV in Can

Because we can't afford it!!!!!!!!!!!

When I can get 600km on one charge, I will buy one.

Becasuse all the green numbers are bs and are about taking over the world by people fearing death.

Oh ya ! Electric cars are awesome 🤔

So is the manufacturing of these cars very green? 🤣 I am not against them but the range is an issue.

WAY OVER PRICED. ITS LIKE WEED THREW THE GOVERNMENT WAY OVER PRICED

Where do the batteries go when they wear out?

What’re you going to do with one of these things when you want to drive across the country on vacation?

I never will own one

Doug Ford killed EV’s when he did away with rebates! Most regressive policy yet!

Too expensive!

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,

If we can buy a pipeline we can subsidize electric cars.

Canada ‘Among Worst-Equipped Countries For Electric Cars’Consumers have to be truly adventurous to buy an EV in Canada. It’s so frigid cold. Eh ? When you turn in the those turbo defrosters & turn up the heat, there’s only enough juice to travel 25km. Electric car and extremely cold temperatures don’t work well together. And I’m not even a PHd ! We can thank the Ford government for hindering the advance of this technology in Ontario
