Ugh! Just make a normal looking EV that's under $35k out the door and not built by a Nazi.

Guest post: How to steer EVs towards the road of ‘mass adoption’ - Carbon Brief
This article sets out the key findings of a new report, including a proposed policy framework that could keep the EV transition on track.

"the [Chinese] plan removes #ElectricVehicles from the list of strategic emerging industries. That move has been misread by some commentators as a retreat. It is better seen as a milestone of maturity. When an industry no longer needs preferential support or policy protection, it has crossed from experiment to normalcy"

Good Morning #Canada
Can Canada's new trade deal with China for #ElectricVehicles jumpstart a shrinking market? Will 49K Chinese #EVs force current Canadian auto suppliers to provide more competitive offerings?
Canada was an anomaly in worldwide EV sales as our electric vehicle sales declined while every other major nation saw substantial increases. Even the U.S. had a modest increase in battery electric vehicles despite Trump's attempts to kill them. Canada EV sales dropped by almost 50% due to canceled government rebates, slow expansion of a charging network, increased pricing, and auto manufacturers cutting back production in favour of hybrids and gas engines. And North American manufacturers invested substantial lobbying dollars to roll back zero emission mandates.
While Canadian manufacturers cry foul, auto dealers are cautiously optimistic. They see cheaper vehicles as a good alternative to what's available today.

Study finds EVs quickly overcome their energy-intensive build to be cleaner than gas cars
Making electric vehicles and their batteries is a dirty process that uses a lot of energy. But a new study says that EVs quickly make up for that with less overall emissions through two years of use than a gas-powered vehicle.

The policy change that could put more EVs on the road
In many states, carmakers are prohibited from selling directly to consumers. Cutting out the middleman could help speed EV adoption.
