No reason ev offroad won't work.  I still don't know why people get so religious about this stuff.  They have their place!  Doesn't make you a tree hugger or whatever to accept that reality.  I'd love an EV utility sxs.

Too bad I'm broke.  I might get an old Geo tracker instead of im lucky lol

Canada Drivers Less Likely To Purchase An EV This Year

Drivers in Canada tell JD Power they are less interested in buying an electric car this year than they were last year. Why is that?

Every year, JD Power surveys potential car buyers in Canada to determine their attitudes about electric cars. The results of the 2023 survey were released on June 29th, and they show that the percentage of Canadians who are interested in purchasing an electric car has dropped 13 points since last year’s survey.

In this year’s survey, 66% of respondents said they are either “very unlikely” or “somewhat unlikely” to consider an EV for their next vehicle purchase. Only 34% said they would consider an EV, down from 47% in 2022. By comparison, in a similar survey in the United States, 61% of consumers said they are “very likely” or “somewhat likely” to consider purchasing an EV this year.

“Despite current legislation that is pushing hard for EV adoption, consumers in Canada are still not sold on the idea of automotive electrification. Growing concerns about affordability and infrastructure (both from charging and electrical grid perspectives), have caused a significant decline in the number of consumers who see themselves in the market for an EV anytime soon,” said J.D. Ney, director of the automotive practice at J.D. Power Canada. “Despite a lower consideration rate year over year and a widening consideration gap to automobile shoppers in the US, there is still a committed group — 34% — of consumers in Canada who say they are likely to consider an EV in the next 24 months.”

The JD Power Canada EV Survey

Here are the key findings from this year’s survey of Canadian drivers:

• EV consideration declines year-over-year: Nearly two-thirds (66%) of automobile shoppers in Canada say they are either “very unlikely” or “somewhat unlikely” to consider an EV for their next vehicle purchase. That is up 13 percentage points from 2022 (53%). In the US, by contrast, the number of consumers who say they are either “very likely” or “somewhat likely” to consider purchasing an EV has increased to 61% this year, up from 59% in 2022.
• Range anxiety, purchase price and charging infrastructure are top roadblocks: Among consumers in the Canadian market who say they will not consider an EV for their next vehicle purchase, limited driving distance per charge is the most frequently cited obstacle to consideration (63%). It is followed by purchase price (59%) and lack of charging station availability (55%).
• Lack of consumer exposure presents EV adoption challenges: Despite widespread awareness of EVs and growing efforts by manufacturers to make EV test drives available to consumers, 55% of vehicle shoppers have never been in an EV. Among consumers in Canada who have rented, borrowed or test driven an EV, 43% say they are “somewhat likely” or “very likely” to consider an EV.
• EV consideration varies notably by geography: ‌The rate of EV consideration is highest in Western Canada, with 46% of consumers in British Columbia indicating interest in EV ownership. Residents of Quebec (39%) and Ontario (34%) have middling interest in EV ownership, while residents in the Atlantic Canada (26%) and Prairie (22%) regions have the least interest.

“Against this backdrop, it is going to take significant investment and close collaboration between manufacturers and lawmakers to address issues of overall affordability, capability and infrastructure before Canada can reach its national and provincial EV sales targets,” Ney said.

The Canada Electric Vehicle Consideration (EVC) Study is an annual industry benchmark for gauging EV shopper consideration. Study content includes overall EV consideration by geography, demographics, vehicle experience and use, lifestyle, and psychographics. It also includes model-level consideration details such as cross-shopping and “why buy” findings and analysis of reasons for EV rejection. This year’s study measured responses from 4,488 consumers and was conducted in April and May of this year.

What is the biggest problem with electric cars?

 

 

From battery issues to software and electronic problems, there are a variety of potential problems that are arising with electric vehicles. In a survey by consumer testing site Which, it was found EVs are the least reliable fuel type and spend longer off the road than other cars when they need repairs.Feb 6, 2023
