Just a quick search on realtor.ca listings. Of course listing price is not selling price and the data may be polluted a bit by misclassified listings (condo listed as a house etc.)....
Sadly listing price and selling price are almost independent entities lately.
 
To get the thread back on track, here are the listings (all building types, house, condo, townhome...., no price filters) that note an EV charger in a keyword search (searched for multiple words they use to list them). Not hard and fast as the realtor may not have listed it.... Of course just for sale listings....

Lordstown has been a sketchy outfit from the outset, and their reliance upon in-wheel hub motors (bad idea) from what appears to be an unknown supplier with no mass-production history (bad ...) hasn't been confidence-inspiring.
 
Been working on something that is destined for Lordstown (end user). Saw the 10-Q filing to the SEC yesterday and mentioned it. No flags thrown. Project got put on hold late this afternoon.
 
If nothing else, the official debut of the F150 Lightning - and how good the specs are for it - puts a nail in the coffin of Lordstown. I see nothing about the Lordstown that is objectively "better" than the F150, and there's ample evidence that the Lordstown is half-baked (or less), as opposed to the F150, which Ford has been testing in some form for a couple of years.
 

Not just the electric version of the Clarity ... all of them.

Copied from another forum ... slightly contradicts some statements in the above article ... but the Japanese aren't known for public criticism of their government; this may be a situation where the words "FCEVs will play a key role in our zero emissions strategy, which is being advanced by our joint manufacturing and development agreements." are contradicted by their actions - discontinuing the Clarity including the fuel-cell version and not having a replacement for it in the foreseeable future.

The closure of that plant also closes out the Honda Legend a.k.a. Acura RLX "Sport Hybrid", which has been a slow seller ... apparently only 250 units worldwide last year.

Hopefully Honda's next EV will be a more serious effort than the promising-looking, but underwhelming, Honda e.

What's that, they cancelled the Clarity because nobody wanted one and it was clearly a completely failed venture?

GM pulling the plug on the Volt (pun intended) shows how dumb plug in hybrids really are as nobody is buying them and they realize the silliness of plugging in for a few km's of range. (before you jump on me about the Clarity, Honda still makes them unlike the Volt, LOL, and If I had to recommend a plug in hybrid car today (I personally wouldn't buy any of them) in this class, It would be the Clarity over a Volt any day of the week for a number of reasons. Clarity sales were up 21%, guess the market agrees.

oh joy, all this talk about the Volt got me excited so I rushed out to order a brand new one from my local purveyor of GM's finest products...

I also predicted the Volt was nothing special despite the "fanboydem" on this thread. GM canceled it with no successor. Was it really that great? Did the market respond?

the Volt as another failed venture.

No, the Volt is calling, it's waiting for the bolt to join in gm heavenly bliss...

Yes, lets all run out and buy a Volt. I hear GM can't produce them fast enough.

I am a firm believer in the "market". Todays consumer isn't stupid and more informed than any other time in history of car purchasing. Many times the consumer educates the car salesmen himself (or lady) about the very model they are selling. The days of buying a Chevy because its US are long gone.

The market has spoken, People don't want Volts, or GM would keep making them.


Caution, watch for goalposts moving at extreme high speeds.
 
All I can see is “view ignored content”. I may actually unblock his reply just for a laugh.

My irony meter hit the pin so hard that it flew into the next postal code.
 
Perfect business sense.

The world (market) isn't ready for hydrogen (yet)

But the electric market is. GM still hasn't figured it out.

Volt and Bolts remain failures.
 
My thoughts still haven't changed from post 2 of this thread from Years ago

Electrics are here to stay. Tesla does it best. Skip the Volt. Its doomed

Goalposts firmly in place.
 
Guess I’m doomed then….close to 1700km on a single tank with 125km left of fuel…
but how many times did the roof peel off? that's the gold standard for quality.

So far none…,but I’ll get there dontcha worry!

but I do need a new windshield washer nozzle…this one keeps popping out when I squirt. Can’t find a pic and I already popped it back in. I’m considering super glue.
