Lots of Silverado EVs popping up all over, all contractor trucks too. Not seeing a lot of non-Lighting F150's these days either. And Tesla outsells everything. Yes, QC is quite different but as the provincial subsidies are cut in half next year, I bet there's a boost in EV sales at the moment. The impending federal election will probably add to the rush, as no one expects mini-trump to keep the federal EV incentives (he's dead last in QC polls, no wonder). Ditto Tesla rushing in Chinese-made Y's and 3's pre-tariffs.
Amazed by the high numbers of EV9's out there, despite the price of these things. They're everywhere! Easily outselling the Telluride, but allocations have always been limited on these in QC.Fiat 500e appears to be doing ok too. Stellantis is pushing it all over the web, so lots of adverts helping exposure.

He's in Quebec, so it's not really how the rest of Canada reacts to such vehicles. I think they likely have the most EV and compact vehicle sales in Canada.
Thought this was interesting, even Chinese consumers are looking hard at range extender electrics now, (ie the old Volt), instead of pure battery electricsShopping for his first family car, Yuan, a 31-year-old Shanghai resident, test-drove pure electric vehicles from Nio and Xpeng, popular EV brands in China. But he was worried about running out of juice and the hassle of charging his car on the go. So instead he tried something new: an extended-range electric vehicle, or EREV. They can go more than 600 miles on a charge compared with the typical 300, thanks to a small internal combustion engine on board whose sole purpose is to automatically recharge the battery. An EREV turned out to be the perfect fit, and in May he paid about $34,000 for a Li Auto L6, a five-seat sport utility vehicle that’s become one of the hottest-selling models in China.“I had not thought about buying an EREV before,” says Yuan, who wanted to be identified only by his first name over concerns about his government job. “But we won’t have to worry about driving range in case of occasional longer drives or the long queue for charging ports.”https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/investing/commodities/2024/08/13/new-breed-of-ev-promises-700-miles-per-charge-just-add-gas/
