Electric cars in Canada? Boy,they’re dumber than I thought.

“… in order to help the country hit its emission-reduction targets.”

Phony, ginned-up, man-made targets based on absolutely NOTHING. But libs everywhere bow down to the targets as if they were carved on tablets handed by God to Moses.

They could have a lottery. Losers would have to purchase an EV.

Long distances, -40 degrees outside, heater running full blast, battery charge dropping fast, only 250 miles to the next town.

What could go wrong?

God? Moses? Who dat?

Well then, ya go elbows up eh? Ya do the Chicken Dance until hypothermia sets in, then yer one dead hoser.

Canada has an EV mandate?

Sounds like a good opportunity for Elon to start a new party.

Why does anybody care? Cana-duh!!!!

EVs in the winter????

>>Long distances, -40 degrees outside, heater running full blast, battery charge dropping fast, only 250 miles to the next town.

or, they could just stay in their 15-minute ghettos like good, compliant little sheep.

It was such a beautiful dream. I’m reminded of the somewhat more dramatic a simpleton in Sacramento who bought a hydrogen car, and only later learned that there are precisely two fueling stations here in Northern California

Some guy up there, in a Canadian tuxedo, probably already invented the battery koosie, eh?

“Long distances, -40 degrees outside, heater running full blast, battery charge dropping fast, only 250 miles to the next town. What could go wrong?”

In one of my expeditions to Northern Canada I was helping a trucker change a flat and I remember him mentioning to me that a friend of his had broken down in winter and was stuck for 2 weeks in the subzero cold.

No, he didn’t die. Instead his (diesel) truck simply idled.

Canadians can’t afford Liberal’s electricity.

The stupidity of the liberal voter will never cease to amaze me.
Battery technology is nowhere good enough the meet our expectations for the performance of a modern EV.

No way can our electrical “Grid” can support the additional load of millions of EVs.

Not enough copper to sustain millions of “Quick charge stations and their charge lines. You all know Copper recycling is very lucrative for drug users.

I’m a software, electronics, and Systems engineer.
I can spot Technical BS from a mile away.

CEOs of Canada’s big three automakers“

Canada has a “big 3”?

Just branches of the US big 3.

“Phony, ginned-up, man-made targets”

I found out the hard way (stuck rings)that today’s engine oil viscosities are for the manufactuer’s MPG rates not for your engine’s protection. Todays oils are fantastic but if you are pushing your engine above the average parameters they maybe a little too light viscosity. I saw where they now sell 16 weight oil!

I now use the next weight higher than mfg. reccomended for summer use

Yeah, because the population in Canadia is so dense that air pollution is a massive problem. Like the LA basin in the 60s and 70s.

?

The population density in the Nunavut province is .05 people per square mile. That’s an extreme example, but you get the point.

CA State Media but regardless, same thing here and the geniuses can’t figure it out.

Anyone who buys a new car thinks about trade-in or resale value and electric cars have neither. No ones going to buy a 15 year old electric when a battery costs as much as it does and no one’s going to sell an electric that they just put a battery in.

The resale market is huge and “drives” the whole vehicle sales economy. Imagine a 5 owner vehicle that’s electric and is 20 years old with 300k on it like my truck. Not gonna happen until a battery is a couple of grand.
