LighteningGuy.............excellent post about EV adoption and I agree with what you stated 100%. I will, however, add another reason why EV sales are soaring.......resale value.
Due to our increasingly carbon taxes, gas prices are going no where but up and ICE engines are going to start failing off a cliff. Considering that most Canadians keep their cars for about a decade that means that someone today will basically be trying to sell their car in 2035 when new ICE vehicles will no longer be available for sale. By 2030, the idea of buying an ICE car will seem completely bizarre even though some may still be produced.
It's kind of like the old stick shift cars. They were never mandated out but now so few people under the age of 50 even know how to drive one that, even if you love driving a stick, you will never be able to resell it.
