EVs are getting easier to find – but with price tags out of reach for many Canadians

Canada’s electric vehicle market keeps getting bigger, but that’s not necessarily good news for consumers – or the environment.

Manufacturers are leaning heavily on electrified SUVs, trucks and large cars that mean high prices and profits for the auto makers.

The trend has helped push the average price for an EV to almost $73,000, according to Canadian Black Book, making it well out of reach for most households. That’s true even with signs of downward pressure from Tesla price drops.


EV’s are impractical for a number of reasons, pretending a price drop is all that’s needed to make them ubiquitous is a lie.
