We should get assembly deals in Canada with Renault. Their EVs are smaller, much cheaper and selling so well they can't produce them fast enough. The entire concept of EVs being expensive is a fabrication of the industry. It now costs less to make an EV than an ICE, battery costs have dropped 90% in a decade. Tesla makes the highest profit margins in the industry. But, we let Detroit not only dictate the large trucks we make, but close the CDN market to smaller foreign EVs.

I was just in France and the new Renault 5 EV is absolutely amazing for a low cost commuting vehicle. I'd be happy to see French cars on Canadian roads again...

EU now has a dozen EV cars under 25,000 euro. But Europe also has a real transit system so EVs don't require 4000lbs of batteries.
