Boges

Sure they're not a panacea, but EV owners certainly don't feel the pain of rollercoaster gas prices. 

Canada is the 4th largest producer of LNG. That's a fossil fuel that will be with us for awhile. We should be winding down oil production for gasoline. 

So where are the fully electric 18 wheelers that can be readily purchased today for a comparable price to their diesel counterparts? And do they have comparable range and recharging time?

Boges, if you think electricity prices are not going to skyrocket at some point then you are  naive.

For the record I never laughed at electric cars I just don't think they deserve any kind of taxpayer subsidy and they are not for everybody.

So people should all go buy one then.

They would but the price/ performance has issues. Finding chargers probably sucks, and takes a while. Plus you might need an electrician to add a line to your garage.

Anyway car lots are empty.
