Opportunity Lost: Doug Ford Closes Electric Avenue


This is a Canadian electric dream car/trike. For commuting in the GTA its a slam dunk no brainier. It now retails for $20,000 CDN. Before the last election you could have bought one after subsidy for $7000.  We will see what happens in Quebec and BC which still subsidize electric cars.

Doug Ford decided it was better to eliminate cap and trade and take $0.10 a liter off the price of gasoline than to give people a cheap option to go green in style. So far $0.043 has been taken off and surprise surprise the gas companies just pocketed it. You had a choice sir, and you made a bad one.

Full disclosure this is not all sunshine and rainbows. The cars are made in China.  Lets hope they are a huge success and we can build some here.  Speaking of Made in China there is another super product designed by Canadians made there. Aside from the look, they have the APTx spec. Do not buy a bluetooth audio product without it!!
