I've always said, my next car will be an ev. Well, I just paid off my 2018 Ford escape. My next car will probably be another compact SUV. Probably an EV. I would also like an electric motorcycle too.

Been meaning to post this somewhere. These are the cars currently made in Canada

I believe given how aggressive the Chinese manufacturers has been with the impending launch that the current limits is probably going to opened substantially and Carney trying to slip enough through before Trump tries to completely pulls the plug on the current manufacturing that is shipped to America.

Bigdrop isn't being made in Canada anymore I don't think, I'm pretty sure CAMI is shuttered.

What i am most hopeful for, is every company that is not Tesla getting a thick slice of the EV market pie.

fingers crossed for Vancouver dealerships. Im in, chequebook ready.

Let me guess, a condition for allowing them market access was that they couldn't do direct to consumer sales and needed dealerships -_-

Shitty middlemen. The backbone of local conservative campaign finance. They must be destroyed

We’re talking about needing a 7-seater in the not too distant future, and I’ve got my eye on that BYD Tang if they’ll port it over in the coming years.

And Canadians are desperate for affordable EVs.

[–] pant0crator@lemmy.zip 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Why desperate when they could just drive cheap ICE cars until they can afford electric lmao

[–] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Cause ICE cars ain't cheap, gas ain't cheap, maintenance ain't cheap.

Seriously though, we've had our EV for two years now, and that things fucking awesome as shit. I don't care if old ladies snarl at me in traffic, they can fuck a duck. I wish someone would make an smallerish electric truck that wasn't 130k+ though (or isn't as monsterous as a F150 - which is also clearly being cast away). Lots of concepts, but I wish one would get to market sooner rather than later. I really like that one that's the size of a mini cooper, but it's still pretty far away from actual units on the road.
