According to J.D. Power, just over half of Canadian car buyers aren’t ready to switch to an electric vehicle. Auto123 has details.

According to a study just published by J.D. Power, a narrow majority of Canadian new-car buyers report being “very unlikely” to switch to an all-electric vehicle.

As proof, in the first three months of 2024, applications for discounts on electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids eligible for the federal program totaled 41,101. That’s a 135-percent increase over the 17,513 applications for the same three months in 2023, according to Transport Canada data. What's perhaps more worrying for those hoping for a rapid transition is that two years ago, 34 percent of respondents said they were ready to go electric. Today, the figure is 28.5 percent.
