The most eye-stealing highlight is the Flash Charging technology, which works in conjunction with the latest Blade Battery 2.0.

– Charging from 10% to 70% takes only 5 minutes.
– To charge to 97%, it only takes 9 minutes.
– Even in temperatures as low as -30°C, it can still be fast-charged in 12 minutes.

Isn't that similar to Norway where now almost no non-EV cars are being sold?

No, big difference. In Northern Norway, average temp in January is -4C, in Northern Canada it’s -40C.

That sounds awful to deal with. Sometimes I wonder why people live in such conditions but I guess that's just humanity for you.

Also cool fact -40C is -40F

Chargers don't even work at -40C.

There are good reasons why most of Canada lives near the US border and in regions below US states.
