In practice, it\u2019s been a wake-up call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The numbers tell the story. Statistics Canada reported that EVs accounted for 18.29 percent of new vehicle sales in December 2024. Just four months later, when Ottawa\u2019s iZEV program ran out of funds and provincial rebates ended, that figure crashed to 7.53 percent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In British Columbia, once a leader in EV adoption, the market share dropped from nearly 25 percent in mid-2024 to 15 percent a year later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quebec, long the most EV-friendly province, saw a similar decline when its $7,000 subsidy was slashed nearly in half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Canadians have been very clear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost is the biggest barrier, according to polls like this one from Ipsos in 2025. But this isn\u2019t the only issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ipsos found 56 percent of British Columbians oppose EV mandates, with even higher resistance among older households and those outside Metro Vancouver. People resent being told they must buy expensive cars they can\u2019t easily charge or fully trust in harsh winters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Subsidies made high sticker prices tolerable for middle-class families, but when the rebates vanished while mandates and fines remained, buyers walked away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Barry Penner of the Energy Futures Institute put it bluntly: governments \u201cput the cart before the horse,\u201d demanding widespread adoption before ensuring affordability or infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The financial penalties for automakers are steep. Missing federal targets by 10 percent could mean hundreds of millions in fines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In British Columbia, dealers face $20,000 penalties for every gas-powered car sold over the mandated ratio. Those who can\u2019t comply often buy credits\u2014frequently from Tesla, a California-based company that benefits while Canadian businesses foot the bill. These rules aren\u2019t just hitting \u201cBig Oil\u201d; they\u2019re straining local dealers and sending money abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Infrastructure is another glaring issue. Ottawa estimates Canada has 33,700 chargers today but needs 679,000 by 2040\u2014an average of 40,000 new chargers annually for 15 years, a pace experts call unrealistic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In British Columbia, Penner notes the province has just 5,000 chargers now and needs 40,000 more by 2030. Meeting the 2035 mandate would also require electricity equivalent to two additional Site C dams, even as B.C. relies on 20 to 25 percent of its power from external sources, often fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canadians aren\u2019t against cleaner technology\u2014they\u2019re against being forced into choices that don\u2019t fit their lives. The frustration stems from policies that feel disconnected from the realities of cost, convenience, and infrastructure. More blame or moralizing won\u2019t fix this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Penner has urged governments to \u201ctake our foot off the gas and realign our policies with reality.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That could mean reinstating rebates if mandates persist, investing heavily in charging networks, or setting broader emissions targets that give consumers real choices instead of rigid quotas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EV dream will keep stalling unless that happens. It\u2019s not because Canadians don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on; it\u2019s because governments made decisions based on wishful thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a
