    Don’t really care about the competition. I care about having cheap access to EVs. If the competition can’t compete, then fuck em. That’s not my problem.

      This comment is the American consumer for the last 50 years, next step is complaining about outsourcing jobs and lower quality products with no competition.

        That only matters under an economic system that necessities competition.

        Change the economic system to one that encourages cooperation instead, and that won’t be an issue.

      EVs won’t be cheap for long if there’s no competition.

        Is there any domestically produced competition in Canada? The only one a search returns is still a concept (not yet commercially available). Everything else looks to be imported from elsewhere?

          Most countries don’t segment electric cars vs regular ice cars. It just falls under “cars”.

          The same people making a decision to buy an ice vehicle would buy a heavily subsidized Chinese vehicle.
