EVs are city bound until they can do double the mileage of a gas tank and don't lose significant charge staying warm while parked without a charger in sight. Oh, and they need to be comparably priced to gas/hybrid vehicles in their class.

I say this as a frequent medium to long range commuter living in Moosetopia.

AND they can recharge in 10 minutes or less, same as it takes to fuel up a dino-burner.

Hopefully it'll get there sooner then later but right now everything we listed is :fakenews: sadly. I want to like EV tech and am seeing a lot more charging stations at public spots like malls and larger plaza/outlet centres all over southern Ontario.

I wonder how much it costs to charge one up fully at home?

The G20 is slowly growing on me but that grill is still a bit whiskey tango foxtrot.

Learning to like Doug will require a bit more work though.

I would miss mine if it hadn't been constantly breaking. But it was a great car before things started going wrong.
