A recent survey shows not all Canadians are ready to make the switch to an electric vehicle as they have concerns about charging stations, cold weather and battery life.

      I will admit, looking io charging times, half an hour isn’t so bad, now that BC hydro has put in/activated their level 3 charging stations.

      When I purchased my current vehicle, there was not any non-tesla lvl 3 stations available, and even then there was only 1.

      That being said, the available lvl 3 stations aren’t near an amenity I would normally stop at, and would add nearly an hour to my current 12 hour round trip.

      And again, my biggest problem with full electric vehicles in my situation is the charge time and charger availability, if the chargers available weren’t for any reason, I would be SOL - and charger availability is a lot lower than gas stations even at the best of times

        Going to become more common than gas stations eventually which as for “next vehicle” is relevant

        It’s just a “whatever” thing
