The data found about 68 per cent of car shoppers in 2022 who did not own an EV showed an intent to purchase one, but that dropped to 56 per cent this year.

instead of anything the size of a Honda civic

Chevy Bolt. But they're over $50k CAD before rebates. Fuck that.

God if the Chevy Bolt was like idk even 35k I could maybe justify it but ideally I think we need the Hyundai Elantra of EVs to exist..something in and around the 20k mark for them to be a purchase normal people can make without sticker shock

Even the used ones are still pricey. I'd get a 10 year old Tesla Model S for $25k before I'd spend $35k on a used Bolt.
