this could be a game changer if it makes its way over here...

Tesla May Open Its Superchargers to Other EVs, Starting in Scandinavia
Long a brand-exclusive perk for Tesla owners only, the fast chargers may be on the verge of wider availability.

Crazy election promise the next. Surprise surprise, the liberal morons also say that much more government money is required to hit the goal and they will be happy to provide it.
I think we will have a large percentage electric by then but would I want an EV as my only option if I lived in Wawa? F no.

Well had to finally fill up. Once the gas range gets below 55-60km it just says ‘low’.
2022km on one tank (with a trip to Kawartha Lakes included) and a 1.6L/100km avg.

This Tesla Model S Plaid Fire Story Is So Odd I Thought It Was A Setup UPDATED
Maybe I'm being paranoid, but a self-driving burning Tesla Model S Plaid just seemed a bit much, but some of it checks out

Nice - so we'd rather tax and beat the hell out of our own people rather than confront countries like China (and I'm sure other populous countries like India etc) about their emissions...?
Analysis: China’s carbon emissions grow at fastest rate for more than a decade - Carbon Brief
China’s CO2 emissions have grown at their fastest pace in more than a decade, increasing by 15% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2021.

I wonder if those Nordic countries have a beefy (carbon?) tax system which in turn raises the price of petrol to what it is projected to hit here in 2030..if memory serves me well - around ~40+ additional cents per litre?
So what will the Federal Government do with all this additional tax revenue?
Will it be used for the betterment of infrastructure or quietly vanish into thin air?
Estimated impacts of the Federal Carbon Pollution Pricing System - Canada.ca
Pricing carbon reduces pollution at the lowest cost to businesses and consumers. A well-designed price on carbon pollution provides an incentive for climate action and clean innovation while protecting competitiveness.
On a side note, it looks like the EV taxes are starting to take hold now that they want to address the loss in revenue at the pumps lol:
EV owners told to send in odometer readings for road tax, and they are not happy
Victoria electric vehicle owners have received a letter asking for a photo of their odometer for the state's EV road tax. And they are not happy.

I suppose time will tell how all of this plays out....
Well, we might be selling the Ioniq. For a few reasons.
My first gen Volt is proving to be at the bleeding edge of powertrain potential towing the camper and it's increasingly evident it's going to limit where we could go - the car *physically* handles the trailer like it's not even there (literally, it's 2 finger driving), but the drivetrain struggles at times, particularly at speeds north of 90kph. Reportedly the second gen cars are drastically more capable towing. I'm going to go for a test-tow with my BIL's 2018 tomorrow and see how it handles the camper. That might be the deciding factor.
- It's still pretty low mileage courtesy of really not moving a ton in the last 16 months.
- It's still in really nice shape.
- It has the Cold Climate Package that was so hard to find when we bought it.
- The drivetrain and battery are still like factory new. I've taken care of it and the battery has had an easy life.
- I know we can still sell it for more than we owe on it.
- And the biggest reason now.... It seems like an overkill considering my wife has all but been told even when she goes back to work it's going to be probably only 2 days a week.

As long as there's a fill station at the dealership. I don't think a Jaguar or Land Rover has ever managed a full tank of fuel without needing a trip there anyways, so all good.
Ooof….I take that personally as i worked at Jag for many years (that job helped me pay off my schooling).
Outside of the X-Type repeat issues the cars were awesome. The older gens….not so much…
This one is for you @FullMotoJacket
Spotted in beamsville. 2010 model with 150k on the clock and still pristine. Owner is over the moon with it. (and needless to say owns other Teslas)

PS. Tesla still does it best. Even in 2010

They were a coachworks in 2010, and even that's a stretch. Stuffing an electric motor in someone else's complete rolling chassis does not qualify you as a carmaker.
Still rather have an Exige with the Toyamaha lump.
Some good and some complete garbage IMO. I’m still holding on before submitting final opinion.
