100% This won't happen when they realize EVs are hardly an issue to any of its electorate.

The moment Canadian Milhouse gets a minority, he will just toss this under the carpet and push Alberta Oil, probably promote Danielle Smith to the minister of environment

When I am driving on the trans-canada highway. I will start looking for gas station when the gas tank not even reach 3/4 empty. You never know, the next gas station may be 150km away. If I am driving a EV, I will shit my pant every time I travel.

It likely has changed since I went last time I was up there but there's a gap across northern ontario that's 360 miles (580kms) between gas stations. Have fun towing a generator along.

It looks to have been filled in over the years, but I'm sure there's still plenty of sketchy "I'd rather not stop here" places too lol.

They aren't losing this EV fight. The reason why all the automakers are on board is because they are promised basically free money for doing so.

But the governments will pretend to back off the EV narrative, and then ramp up the climate change rhetoric and basically say "we gave you a chance to do the right thing, now we have to force you!"

Trailer mounted generators for EV's. The business idea for the future. I'm sure Musk is on it.

I suspect that in the not too distant future the reality will sink in the the target dates are unachievable. In the mean time I'm with you, I'll keep driving and buying ICE vehicles.

Well, unfortunately the U.S. government is willing to put our tax dollars down the drain. In order to "save us".

An easy gain of votes from the ecological crowd. In today's digitalized world ppl forgot what a middle ground is. They want to win so it's either one extreme or the other.

Shocked, an over weight car with autonomous driving being involved in more accidents.

Analysis Reveals Tesla Has the Highest Accident Rate Among Car Brands

Dec 18, 2023
QuoteWizard discovered that Tesla drivers exhibit the highest accident rate, recording 23.54 accidents for every 1,000 drivers. Ram (22.76) and Subaru (20.90) are the only other brands surpassing a rate of 20.00 accidents per 1,000 drivers.

I am not too surprised. At least from what I experience on the road. Tesla drivers's driving skill are extremely poor. At all cost, I will not drive next to, in front or follow a tesla. I am out of count how many times tesla drivers try to race me in front of the traffic lights. I just smile and say you can go to hell as fast as you want and I am not stopping you.
