Most Canadians don't want the headache

More Canadian car buyers are rejecting electric vehicles, with nearly two-thirds saying they're unlikely to consider one for their next purchase.

Perfectly reasonable.

Driving distance per charge was the most common concern cited by respondents (63 per cent), followed by purchase price (59 per cent), and lack of available charging stations (55 per cent).

Just look at the most densely populated region of Canada: the Greater Toronto Area. Insane traffic, rain, and snow storms. Assuming that the public chargers aren't frozen in the winter, it'll take you only an hour to get a decent charge. Oh, there are three cars in front of your charger. So, that'll be a lovely three-hour wait in -30C.

Now, add to that, the very real possibility of losing electricity. That one day of the year would totally sour the experience of having an EV.
