    The Japanese aren’t really making EVs though. The leaf was a success, but Nissan hasn’t done anything since. Japan is 100% committed to plug-in hybrids at this point.

      Toyota is only coming into the EV market when solid state batteries are to be used. 2027. Nissan makes half a dozen EVs for markets that buy them. Canadians are still mostly buying large SUVs and pickups, because gas is free, apparently.

        Can’t speak for the ROC but in Quebec nearly 25% of all new vehicle sales are going to EV. I wouldn’t say no one is buying them…

      I’m not touching ICE lobby Toyota myself but I do see BZ4X and Aryia on the road.
