According to Automotive News, a September survey published by the think tank Clean Energy Canada showed that 48 percent of respondents want an EV as their next car. And now that Canada will be allowing some Chinese EVs into the market, close to half of those potential customers are willing to wait for them.

my hybrid gets 660km range.

Why complain about PHEV range when PHEVs are designed for typical commutes, not 150km. Sounds like your lifestyle is going to take a lot of gas money.

    Your hybrid gets 660km with a full tank and full charge. I was discussing specifically the charged range, not fuel. I am complaining that there aren't any reasonable options currently available in Canada for me to reduce my fuel usage, and I am looking forward to there being better options soon.

    My commute isn't by choice, the travel costs are just significantly lower than the cost to move somewhere better,,and my household income can't really support dropping everything and just going somewhere else.
