Wow.

"Our members are fully committed to the transition of their product portfolios to electrified transportation and this is the future of our sector, however that transition can only happen as quickly as consumers are willing to move."

How about you actually make an affordable EV (ie actually invest in the manufacturing)? Or remove the barriers preventing BYD and others from offering their 20-30k EVs into this market? Protectionism doesnt do shit for a business that refuses to modernize and accept that their products are a major leading factor of climate change.

No one will buy them. You can buy a Nissan Leaf with under 100,000km for $6000. Teslas are >$20K used. Why? BECAUSE NO ONE IS BUYING THEM.

Why should they? Doug Ford is subsidizing gas prices.
