A recent survey shows not all Canadians are ready to make the switch to an electric vehicle as they have concerns about charging stations, cold weather and battery life.

    Probably not the first choice of manufacture, but credit where it’s due and BYD is making waves with The Seagull

      I know nothing of this brand or about the safety in Chinese EVs, and to what level their built-in spying extends to, but the car is still US$12,899.00 + whatever costs are involved to get it to you. Assuming you can get service for these Chinese EVs in North America.

      For sure, it’s better than a $40,000 price tag if you don’t drive much, but still too expensive, IMO. My current car’s days are numbered, and I don’t think I would get an EV, even at $13,000.

        you might as well have said “I’ll never buy a new car of any kind”

        ev has nothing to do with your decision if youre that cost-concerned
