    No actual plan on how to drive EV adoption yet, but expect incentives to get much bigger.

    I was looking at Teslas, and unless I am mistaken (I hope I am), they don't give you the incentives on any EV's you'd actually want to buy, only the slow or entry level models. Does anyone know if that is the case?

    I wouldn't be surprised to see a cultural shift towards simulating activities we used to enjoy in real life in order to reduce emissions (ie: sim racing). I'm sad to see the end of the ICE, but if this summer is any indication, we (not just Canada, obv) need to change how we consume and interact with the environment. That being said, I'm not a scientist so maybe this record breaking heat is a normal cyclic pattern unrelated to the industrial revolution.

    Why would the gov't incentivize any of the performance tesla models? The base model provides all functions required of a commuter vehicle. Performance is a luxury - if you can afford $100k+ vehicles, then a $10k rebate isn't going to make or break your purchase decision. If the goal is mass adoption, catering towards a wealthy niche of enthusiasts doesn't seem like a logical pursuit.

    And perhaps a topic for another thread - are climate lockdowns an impending reality?

    Well that sucks. If their goal is to incentivize people to buy EVs that seems rather counterintuitive. I was just looking at the Model 3 and Y and as soon as you go beyond the most basic model the incentive seems to disappear.

    There is no incentive on Y. Only 3. That said, the cheapest AWD EV is ID.4 at $48K after incentive. At that price, it's definitely cheaper to operate than RAV4.

    I like the looks of the ID4 but it seems like a pretty terrible vehicle from what I've read about it so far. Reviews have been rather negative. The bar is so high with Tesla that it doesn't help the comparisons though. The downside with Tesla is the cheapest variant worth buying looks to be around $70K with no incentives.

    Agree. Even after Trudeau gets the next majority government, and another one after that, there's a lot of time for this to be bent, twisted, changed or cancelled. This is not going to be anything like the initial press release.

    v1 with shitty software, awful touch control and cost cutting material throughout. But the pricing is decent in the world of EV and range is decent. For that price, you ain't getting AWD with decent options. And if you want a FWD base model, it's only $40K after incentive.

    It'll still happen, but zero infrastructure will be built to support it, and we'll have brown outs and alternating household charging days .

    Didn’t California just issue a notice for people to not charge their EV’s because they ran out of juice?

    Welcome to the future everyone. Except for us it will be “ please don’t use your EV’s or people won’t be able to heat their homes “

    All good. In a couple decades when snowstorms and heat waves hit, we'll all be charging our EVs and heat our homes with a portable generator that we fill with gas.

    End of the day, the only people the Liberals are really hurting are poor people.

    Energy prices will skyrocket. Cars will be priced out of affordability, and those you can afford are going to redefine the term econobox. Transit will become overloaded and underfunded to compensate. Healthy fresh food will be out of reach for most. The knock on effects will be crippling and drive millions into poverty.

    But hey, there will be less CO2 in the atmosphere. People are totally going to notice that effect on every day life while they starve if they are working at all.
