EV sales have collapsed in Canada, falling 45% compared to March 2024. The end of purchase incentives and the growing EV charging gap are the culprits. The federal #EV mandate needs to be scrapped before serious damage is done to the auto industry. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…

28% of vehicle shoppers in 🇨🇦 are very or somewhat likely to consider an EV. This is down from 29% in 2024 and 34% in 2023. EV purchase intentions are moving in the wrong direction. Federally mandated EV sales targets are increasingly out of reach. jdpower.com/business/press…
