It’s like they do not want vehicles that perform poorly in snow and cold weather, especially when the Elites attempting to force them to buy EVs do not drive in them
More Canadian car buyers shunning EVs in 2024: J.D. Power
More Canadian car buyers are shunning electric vehicles (EVs) due to tighter household budgets and higher borrowing costs, according to J.D. Power Canada. A new survey by the market research firm says nearly three-quarters are unlikely to consider one for their next purchase.
J.D. Power Canada collected nearly 3,000 responses from consumers in March and April for its third annual Electric Vehicle Consideration study. The results show 72 per cent of automobile shoppers are either “very unlikely” or “somewhat unlikely” to consider an EV for their next purchase. That’s up from 67 per cent last year, and 53 per cent in 2022.
Limited driving distance per charge, or so-called “range anxiety,” was the top concern among those choosing not to buy electric (68 per cent), followed by purchase price (61 per cent), and charging infrastructure (60 per cent). (snip)
J.D. Power Canada found Canadian car buyers remain far less interested in EVs than their American neighbours. This year’s survey found 11 per cent of Canadian new vehicle shoppers are “very likely” to consider an EV. That’s less than half of the 24 per cent of U.S. buyers who said the same.
Ney says part of this comes down to a Canadian preference for all-wheel drive vehicles with longer range.
Very likely doesn’t mean they will actually purchase, though. Even hybrids and plugin-hybrids are not doing that well in Canada.
The federal government aims to phase out sales of new internal combustion vehicles by 2035, with interim targets of 20 per cent zero-emissions sales by 2026, and 60 per cent by 2030. (The government’s ZEV classification includes both EVs and PHEVs.)
Yet, how many of these government officials are actually driving one now? Too bad the Credentialed Media folks never ask.

Is he driving one?
to avoid me posting “Tesla Mod Y is the 2nd best passenger car selling model in the USA, Teach is now reporting EV news from the Great White North
Tesla was the # 3 luxury car in sales Tesla sold about 37000 cars in canada in 2023, that was an increase of about 50% from 2022
still hoping for a personal test drive review on that new Honda Prologue EV. zero to 60 in 4 seconds
h, I have noted time and again how silly claiming that Tesla’s Mod Y’s is the second best passenger car is. The market is in pick-ups and SUV’s. Add everything together and you see just how insignificant that number is.
Jl
You constantly embarrass yourself by trying to fact check me
If you had carefully read my post you would have seen that the Tesla Mod Y was ranked #2 after the Toyota Rav 4 WHICH IS A SUV
SUVs are considered a passangsr car
The Tesla Mod Y sold about 10% fewer cars than the Toyota Rav 4 SUV which as I noted is a much cheaper model
Jl before I post I always do my due diligence, you should also
Even without checking you should have seen an noted that the vehicle that was the number 1 in US sales is a SUV
Lol and you have even admitted to all of us that you have made the mistake of not knowing that in the US sales figures SUVs are grouped in the “passenger car figures”
The Tesla Mod Y outsells the #2 best selling SUV model the Honda CR-V by over 40000 units
So what? But yourself a crappy evening but for gawd sakes man get off your knees & wipe your mouth.
EV.
I am thinking maybe ckc is trying to show us HE is not a fag.
Keep sharp objects away from Johnny…
Jami
the tesla mod Y is the #2 in passenger car sales in the USA. The ‘passenger car sales” designation includes SUVs. The #1 in passenger car sales is an SUV, the much cheaper Toyota Rav4.
you know not of what you speak.
Re-Post: “Get Trump” is backfiring BIG TIME against the Dems! UPDATED!!

Our neighbors to the north are significantly more politically liberal than Americans, so surely, surely! it’s not true that they are ‘shunning’ plug-in electric vehicles in favor of the infernal combustion engine!
It is true, however, that the more liberal Canucks are heavily concentrated in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia, which is why I’ve previously suggested that we should annex all of Canada except Ontario and Quebec, as long as we include the provision that BC does not get to vote in federal elections or have representatives in Congress.
