Gas stations are built without our tax dollars.
Imagine a future where we wait for our government-mandated chargers to charge. Hopefully there’s an app for that.
If costs keep dropping, EVs will become a no-brainer for most. Scrap the government incentives and we will achieve the inevitable.

Canada's got the right idea here. Build roads, build chargers. Makes sense.
- breitling 7y agoYou're comparing charging stations to gas. A more logical comparison would be electricity in charging stations vs gas in gas stations.
- clouddrover 7y agoIt's all part of the same system. What use is a gas station without gasoline? Do you want $3.3 billion going to fuel subsidies or do you want $8 million going to EV chargers. If you're interested in a smaller government spend, you want to pick the EV chargers.
- zanybear 7y agoThat’s what I though too. 8 million is peanuts for Canadian government. Even for the provincial one. I think it’s more a PR move.
