No, actually Canada is ahead of most countries in electric vehicle sales, 2019 figures at 2.7% total vehicle sales, Compared to only 2.4% worldwide.
With our Hydro resources, An abundant land locked nearly free natural gas, Electricity here should be so cheap that electric vehicles would be a no-brainer. But unfortunately Chuck and Friends have successfully driven electricity prices higher at a time when they should have been dropping, ruining the best incentive possible to owning an EV.

Those numbers mean about as much as the covid numbers. If you have populations that don’t change cars often they will have their old cars If low income they have their old cars and yes if electricity is cheaper they will have their electric cars. You can make any argument fit your narrative at this point. But the facts are all the major car manufactures are headed in a certain direction.
Maybe more electric here per capita due to too high gas prices? But you’d have to look at all the other factors as well. Lol

You also give to the argument produce more electricity to make it cheaper. That’s not only good for cars it’s good for production of any good we make. And we d make a lot more goods here if electricity and oil was cheaper here.

Travelling stateside it is way easier to charge up your vehicle than here at least where I ve been.

But hey let’s sit here and wait for 100 dollar oil so we can spend more than we bring in like the last time. And raise the cost of farming Lmao!!!
Ass backwards thinking is what we currently have. But people are making good money on it.

Not quite sure why you are arguing with me that cheaper energy is good for economic growth and productivity? We are both on the same page here. Perhaps you should take that argument up with Chuck instead. He might actually listen to you.
