Almost half of all EV (46%) that are in Canada are in Québec. I guess the cheap electricity and $8000 cashback has something to do with this.

Not surprised there.
I visited Montreal and Quebec City last month and it was noticeable how many EV's were on the road.
I saw more Mach-E's in four days then i've seen in Ontario all this year

If you add the 8k plus the 5k and the 600 for the charging setup, it's pretty tempting.

I’m betting the rebate drives more sales than the cheap electricity does.

I have a chalet in a very small town 35 minutes from Ottawa and in the municipal building they have charging stations. The government is really making it easy for people to use electrical cars, very progressive !

Yes, our SR+ ended up costing us around $43,000 (before deposit), and that's including the charging station at home. That's not much more (if any) than a comparable well equiped intermediate sedan.

@SylvainG BC is no slouch, either! B.C. tops North America for electric vehicle uptake in 2020, says minister

 

[SylvainG]

That"s awesome. In 2020, Québec added 25,869 all electric vehicles. BC 40,013. The two provinces with the most incentives sees the most sales, I think they're on to something lol.

BC added 54 Hydrogen cars in 2020? I wonder what model they are. Are they provincial fleet vehicles?

Bingo.

@SylvainG good question. It's hard to imagine many private consumers actually wanting one, given the near-complete lack of infrastructure to support it. Maybe Toyota sold a few Mirai? LOL.
