A recent survey shows not all Canadians are ready to make the switch to an electric vehicle as they have concerns about charging stations, cold weather and battery life.

I might get one after they hit the third-hand market.

I’m waiting to see all the real world reviews for Aptera

Only electric cars should be allowed to drive on city roads.

Only people who can afford electric cars should be allowed to drive on city roads. FTFY.

Being poor isn't an excuse to run a combustion engine outside my window.

No delivery trucks?

No plumber's vans?

They make electric mass produced work trucks now. Perfect for city deliveries and trades people doing city work.

Honestly, I have a hybrid, and even a lvl 2 charger at home, but I could never consider going full EV where I live, as I need a vehicle that can travel 700km in a single charge at -30Β°C before they are viable.

Give me a small SUV that can do that, and keep my payments under $300 bi-weekly, and I would switch in a heartbeat.

On a side note - fuck BC Hydro's exorbitant charging station rates, they are as bad as just using gas in my escape

I think you'd fit into what we'd call an outlier situation.
