Have we ever thought they were a solution and not just a stopgap?
Until proper alternatives are fully operational, EVs are not the worst thing.
You’re undercutting your own argument here.
EVs make sense in rural contexts, but that is and will always be a niche application. We can’t afford to ignore the bigger picture - most people live in cities. There are more efficient and better options to decarbonize cities than electric cars.
As the other commenter pointed out, electric cars are a step. A lot of people living in cities are ready to go farther now though. Let’s not ignore them or get in their way.
While electric cars are an improvement over ICE vehicles that will help the planet, there’s still a lot more potential to decarbonize cities faster and help people get moving again by investing in alternatives to driving and upzoning everywhere permissively to legalize traditional development patterns ie mixed use, walkable, transit oriented streets.
Getting rid of the efficiencies defence is a good start.
The article also hints at a deeper problem of land use. Zoning is limiting the space where new competitors can establish themselves. The established conglomerates buy up what little land is available.
Provincial governments need to tax ground rents so the revenue gets used to foster competition, not lining billionaires’ pockets.
Municipalities need to open up the suburbs to become denser mixed use spaces, where small businesses can develop and thrive.
There are stores mentioned in the article. I also found this list on Reddit of North American suppliers from the American Astronomical Society

We’ll see soon enough if he signed up enough new Liberal party members before the deadline today to overcome Bonnie Crombie’s lead. I suspect not, which is a shame, he seemed like the most promising OLP leadership contenter. In that case, I doubt progressives will choose the OLP next election, and will see more promise in the ONDP.
