The data found about 68 per cent of car shoppers in 2022 who did not own an EV showed an intent to purchase one, but that dropped to 56 per cent this year.

There are inexpensive EVs...BYD makes some decent low cost EVs. They're already in use as taxis in Montreal and IKEA delivery in Vancouver. The consumer versions are apparently coming in Canada... Just not yet. They are avail in Australia already and in Europe too.

FYI, the full-electric IKEA delivery trucks are in Montreal as well.

Ah cool. I haven't spent much time in Montreal... I stay west coast. I was just aware of the BYD taxis. Poked about online. Seems the BYD trucks are in Ottawa too.
