Canada’s electric vehicle (EV) market is experiencing significant growth in both production and consumption. Here’s a summary:
Production:
* While Canada doesn’t have a large number of domestic EV manufacturers compared to other countries, it is making strides in this area. Several companies are investing in EV production and battery manufacturing facilities in Canada.
* The Canadian government is actively promoting the development of the EV industry through various incentives and investments. This is attracting both established automakers and new players to set up production facilities in the country.
* Canada is also rich in resources needed for battery production, such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt. This gives the country a competitive advantage in the EV market.
Consumption:
* EV sales in Canada have been steadily increasing in recent years. In 2023, zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) accounted for 11.7% of new light-duty vehicle sales, a significant jump from previous years.
* Several factors are driving this increase in EV adoption, including government incentives, growing awareness of environmental issues, and the increasing availability of EV models.
* British Columbia and Quebec are leading the way in EV adoption, with higher market shares compared to other provinces.
Overall, the Canadian EV market is dynamic and growing rapidly. With increasing production capacity and strong consumer demand, EVs are expected to play a significant role in Canada’s transportation sector in the coming years.

There are at least a dozen and a half electric vehicles out there adding to consumers choice for enjoyment of the tremendous liberty of a personal motor car. Ranges vary and mixes of full EV to charging engines give a wide preference field for any one that can afford to get into an electric vehicle.
There are also 1000 public chargers and a number of quick chargers ( DC 30 minute ). There are enough quick chargers to go from Vancouver through Golden to Canmore Alberta and have use of them in nine communities. Range and planning around chargers still remain a challenge amongst users.

EVs remain a novelty at this time quick chargers may have line up challenges because of increased interest.
