Sorry but airshows have since their inception been at least partly political and the organizers do listen to 'suggestions' . Sounds from other reports like ev's aren't doing that well and people are moving back to plug in hybrids a bit. Well Toyota and GM were there and they didn't have their EVs front and centre because they're the few manufacturers that aren't really doing much in that segment right now. GM didn't even have the Bolt. I did get to sit in the Hummer EV which is a comically large an impractical car. But still cool. Volvo, on the other hand, only had EVs, IIRC. Subaru which only has 1 EV model had 2 or 3 versions of it. Got to see a Cybertruck as well. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironstone Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 This segment on Marketplace was pretty interesting. It was kind of funny to see Stephen Guilbeault checking his watch when getting asked questions. I guess he clearly is not used to that.

What Cold Weather range do they want posted? 0? -10? -40? And pricing per KWh is silly. You should pay more for the speed it takes to charge the car.

Invest in EV infrastructure an incentivize car-buyers to buy an EV as their next car. He risks damaging the Ontario Auto Sector as that's where the Big 3 are moving their focus in the coming years. As the Article mentions, Ontario has the Natural resources to help move from Fossil Fuel infrastructure to Battery development and manufacturing. The rest of the country is way ahead of us on this. Across the 401 there are OnRoute rest-stop, none have DC Fast Chargers. This is a no-brainer to help make Ontario a more EV friendly market. Thank you but EV's are an environmental disaster waiting to happen. Worse even than plastics. I personally would gladly purchase a hydrogen powered vehicle but I will never own an EV.

EVEN if making the battery was that damaging (more damaging than extracting Oil from the Tar Sands?) It's a one time cost. Where an ICE car is polluting at many stages in the fuelling processing the entire lifecycle of the vehicle. Hydrogen could work but the infrastructure isn't there and it's comparably as expensive as Gasoline. EVs are more appealing because, just about everyone that can afford one, has the capability of charging them at home. LOL!! The exact opposite my friend. EV's only appear green because of their relatively low impact at point of use. The environmental infrastructure costs, damages are huge. EV's are an environmental disaster magnitudes greater than plastics. A hydrogen vehicle you could convince to buy, an electric one, never.

herbie Posted Thursday at 08:43 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:43 PM Talk about timing..... Did you miss the $15 billion Honda investment in 4 EV plants in Ontario this week? Besides, stop worrying about batteries. PP knows electicians that can pluck electricity from the sky. So do I; with wind and solar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilions wasted to buy someone else a plant that will almost certanly be repurposed to something else by the company who owns it 5 years after it's built and it will have been paid for by Canadians borrowing on our children's future. It's a frikkin' crime This is why it's WRONG to be woke. Quote Besides, stop worrying about batteries. PP knows electicians that can pluck electricity from the sky. What would that have to do with batteries? That would be the electricity that goes IN the batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
