Few? Try none. I don't know about you, but I don't consider a $45,000 purchase price "affordable." www.cbc.ca/news/science...

Hate to say it but if you want to drive down the price of North American EV’s opening up the market to Chinese EV’s with no or limited tariffs would be a first step.

Why would you hate to say it, it's literally why it's so affordable everywhere but North America. Say it loudly and proudly, GM and Ford have been fighting clean air in Canada and lobbying the gov to keep competition out, it's horrible for the planet and Canadian consumers.

I hate to say it because I would prefer to see EV’s domestically produced as opposed to imports. If people aren’t working doesn’t matter how cheap they are.

It would be great if Ford and GM weren't lobbying American and Canadian governments to recent clean air legislation and tariff competition because they can't compete, and sell Chinese gas vehicles here with their brands, but that's where we are. Most of Ford/GM's EV volume is <15% CA/US content.

Not necessarily talking about Ford and GM but promoting other domestic EV ventures. Project Arrow for example
