Watching them throw so much money at EV plants seems like such a waste when we have a massive natural resources that can’t get anything done.

@garyhaggquist740 Месяц назад

Pushing further record fossil fuel expansion - the cause of the climate crisis - is completely unsustainable, totally incompatible with meeting climate targets - and totally irresponsible & reckless. The climate crisis is increasing costs and causing hardship for Canadians.

@garyhaggquist740 It's like when fossil fuel caused the 1930's drought that lasted almost 10 years. If only we had a carbon tax back then we could have avoided it.

@cayrick Месяц назад

Canada has become very uncompetive through regulation and high costs and benefits. The only way to attract industry is through huge subsidies which we saw with Michelin and the Volkswagen battery plant. Now we are seeing ev sales collapse as dealer's lots are overflowing with them. Maybe we could tie in the subsidies with halil loans on ev purchases. Just a thought.

It's hard to believe that there's a Tesla Model S out there with over 1.21 million miles (1.96 million kilometers) on its odometer, but indeed there is. And here it is. The car, a 2014 Model S P85, has racked up 1.2 million miles so far, which works out to approximately 131,000 miles per year. Could you imagine driving that much? And doing so in an electric car, which naysayers often state can't go the distance. Well, we think this car proves that EVs can be driven a significant amount of miles per year and that the charging infrastructure, at least in some parts of the world, can support high-mileage drives.

@slmdaddy1 Месяц назад

over all this could be great as Honda won't be selling gas cars for that many more years. Transitioning to Electric will give Ontarians a chance for future employment. The risky part is EV vehicles are a hard nut to crack for Legacy auto manufactures. Ones that have jumped in have jumped back out and slowed production due to inferior products and huge loss as they couldn't ramp business up enough to be profitable. Last time I looked Honda doesn't have a EV on the market in Canada as of yet. I wish them luck.
