Canada bans ICE car sales by 2035

good news is we can stop cutting down trees and start harvesting the money that grows on them

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?

The SR+ is the only one that gets an incentive. I bought one expecting it to be slow, but was pleasantly surprised by how quick it is at legal speeds. Try one out some time before eliminating them from your search. The depreciation on a Model 3 is very low, so you could always flip it in a year if you don't like it.

Boy Canada sure is funny if they think this will happen or even be good for the general population.

We need to cut down trees because only paper bags are #Eco to use at the grocery store.

Pfffttt! I was at the grocery store the other day and some boomer tried to tell me that stores used to use paper bags and stopped in favour of plastic bags because cutting trees down was bad.
What a stupid boomer. I hate boomers. I wish they all got 'Rona and died.

I was wondering about their resale as well, so that's good to know. I would have thought due to the nature of battery degradation and the presumably enormous cost of replacement, that would mean high depreciation. I also don't know if they are like other batteries where if people abuse them, they can degrade very quickly. Obviously they are going to be better than a standard lithium battery but I would be curious to know how much the owner can influence battery health.

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

Well if 2M EVs in AB all need 7kw to charge, that adds 14,000MW of demand to the grid. Our winter peak has been <12,000MW. If you are telling we need to double our generation in a decade or so, along with increasing carbon tax. It doesn't take a genius to figure out where the electricity prices are going to be and why the Danish is dropping 1/2 a bil into the Vulcan solar farm.

All the new EVs feel fast. I've driven a Niro, Mach-E, base models, and they all feel really peppy.

Tesla's are the only EVs that have such low depreciation. I haven't seen it from other brands yet. Probably a combination of supply/demand, continual increase in price, and Elon Musk haha.

Never bet against a cult company!
If getting attention is important to you, the Model 3 gets a lot of attention and thumbs up.

Making a declaration that vehicles are banned in 2035 is political genius. Get to claim all the woke points, but almost certainly have no chance of still being in government by then and responsible for the fallout.

They also didn’t pass any legislation on this. Just made a sweeping declaration, so the whole thing hold no water.

Current RV trailers will become obsolete, and you'll have to buy ones with massive battery banks built into the structure.

Just more evidence proving my theory that the EV market is super hot right now

[finboy]

Good thing I only drive cars that are around 15 years old, by the time this impacts me I’ll just make sure I have a farm tank on my property so I can keep enjoying fun cars (specifically noisy ones with manual transmissions)

Will we run the flags at quarter mast to recognize the atrocities against the automotive workers in Eastern Canada?

With current EVs a normal car would take about 3 days just to drive to Vancouver, then 3 days back, who the hell wants to do that

Everyone. Pfffttt! Thanks, Boomer.
How does my 1920's hat and beard wax look while I'm atop this penny farthing?

[ExtraSlow]

Agree, who wants to go to Vancouver? Gross.

What reason do we have to drive that far.

Stay safe stay home.

Duh, technology on batteries will obviously rapidly accelerate beyond current chemistry knowledge, while electrical grids magically triple in capacity in the next 14 years to solve for this - Reddit Canada
