Too bad we don't have the know how or the capacity or resources to build our own EVs.

Oh wait...

It's too bad nobody had the foresight to build a Canadian EV for everyone.

Can you imagine if we cured our Thatcherite brainworms and started doing what the private sector refuses to do with crown corporations again?

Sodium battery technology is the future, and is still a nascent technology at industrial scale. It doesn't pollute much to make 'em, either. Canada has the highest educated population in the world, per capita. I'd love to see a big plan from Carney's government to offer subsidies for massive sodium-battery storage facilities (and home-based energy storage, for that matter), so long as the batteries are made in Canada (or something like that).

Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems like a brilliant industry to try to get into. They operate effectively *down to –40°C, too, so they could actually work in cars for Canadian winters, or for in-garage home energy storage.
