Everything is just a shittier version of a train anyways.

The simpletons do. Not in my backyard. No problem. I gots a new Tesla discounted with government subsidies.

The days of federal subsidies on a Tesla in Canada are pretty well over.

I guess depending on the price but they get 7 seaters and still qualify.

Someone check my math, but this seems a pipe dream.

20 million cars? 127,000 tons of luthium? Isn't that just 13 pounds per car, when there's probably 200 pounds per car?

Just one thing I checked.

I like EVs like everyone else, but 2035 is an insane target.

I'm just happy that environmentally-friendly strip mining will replace all of those nasty oil wells.

Meant to quote this chart.

Not anymore...
The plan includes $9 billion for climate action grants and loans and $1.7 billion for electric vehicle rebates.

nah, you're not reducing population by 70% because they froze that winter. Also how you fix affordable housing crisis and healthcare. Depopulate.

I probably mentioned this before, or someone else has, but I’ll ask again… wtf are they planning to do about infrastructure? Our power grid is going to be so fucked with a step change in EV adoption. And the cost to remediate is astronomical.

The plan is to shout at you that you're a "cLiMaTe ChAnGe DeNiEr" and then compare you to Hitler until the brownouts... Happen...

[ExtraSlow]

There's two possibilities:
1) energy shortages (brownouts, blackouts and more) are part of the plan
2) there is no plan

There's only one possibility. 2), resulting in 1)

Energy poverty resulting in death and suffering is going to be a big theme worldwide for the next ten years at least. 250 people died from the 2021 Texas blackouts. I think Canada can beat that when our grid fails in a cold snap.

There will be burning-barrels in the bread lines, so we should be fine.

I think you guys are blowing this out of proportion. California leads the way in EV adoption and hasn’t suffered from these problems any more than pre EV with their shitty grid. Yes they still have issues during heat waves, but that’s during peak evening hours. EVs charge off peak at home mostly, and their system is designed to encourage that by having lower rates off peak.

Street parking for EVs, that’s a real problem. Don’t think electric grid is tho here.

Street parking. And apartment buildings.

Most condos have no ability to handle EV’s on their existing electrical infrastructure, let alone allocate charging costs to the owners.

It’s already causing fights in BC with strata boards.

Oh yea, and most people’s service is woefully inadequate to handle serious charging of a garage full of EV’s at home.

100A to charge a lightning properly, how many F150’s are sold a year again?

Yea, should’ve mentioned condos too.

Lightning doesn’t need 100A for home charging. 48 amp is good enough for overnight.

There are probably very few households where both people drive 400+ kms per day, so you don't need the garage to charge both vehicles the same night. Even if you do need it, you can program the charging so they both aren't going at the same time.

[danno]

Terrible time to own a condo then, just wait for the electrical upgrade bill 20k per unit. Haha.

I’m still excited to get a ev but the ones I want I have to wait for, so I’ll sit on the side lines till they are readily available.

[ExtraSlow]

Home charging at even 30 amps is probably sufficient.

Most people could charge at 110v every other night for their daily commuting needs. 10h of charge for every 100kms.
