This is the first time I’ve heard the term “ZEVs” maybe the term has been around for a long time, but this was the first time, I’ve seen any media outlet include Hybrids, like the Toyota Prius in their Electric Vehicle sales reports.
More than 65,000 new zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) — meaning battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric
So, let’s be clear, people have been purchasing zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) long before the Far-Left attempted to FORCE everyone to purchase Electric vehicles, with all of these silly ESG, Carbon tax mandates.
Some of the headlines about electric vehicles lately might give the impression that the market is headed for a crash. But new data shows electric vehicle sales are still growing in Canada, and have hit a record high.
More than 65,000 new zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) — meaning battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric — were registered in the second quarter of this year, according to Statistics Canada. That’s equal to 12.9 per cent of all vehicle registrations. Over the same period five years ago, ZEVs made up just 3.4 per cent.
With Hybrid vehicles, the problems are obviously MAINTENANCE-related problems that most owners only figure out when their Hybrid cars begin giving them problems.
With SOME Hybrid vehicles it could take years for their Hybrid cars to give problems, however the more savvy Hybrid automobile shopper, knows to stay away from USED Hybrids, which is why purchasing a NEW Hybrid is the smarter choice.
The problem with EVs is that unless you’re upper middle-class or rich, who doesn’t drive very much or who has other cars, an EV can be an economic nightmare, not only for auto insurance, but for charging, even if there were more charging stations, you have to remember that batteries on EVs should never be fully charged.
If ANYTHING happens to the battery of your EV, it might be a write-off, and this is obviously becoming more known, however you do have a lot of clueless people who are still dedicated to the phasing out of fossil fuels, and they’ve been SEEKING OUT Hybrid vehicles for a long time.
What makes “ZEVs” different from EVs is that people would buy ZEVs WITHOUT government subsidies, meaning that all of this Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) should never have happened and should be phased out IMMEDIATELY.
Basically, because the media is now including hybrid vehicles with EVs, government initiatives like the Carbon Tax should be abolished because the market is FULLY capable of mastering hybrid technology, to the point that consumers may, in time, VOLUNTARY shift to hybrid, just based on the costs.
One of the problems with ESG is that automakers and other industries have to do EVERYTHING based on the ESG guidelines, which not only makes production costs more expensive, creating ARTIFICIAL inflation but also makes the MAINTAINANCE more expensive because you require FOSSIL FUELS to maintain and FIX these ZEVs.
End this ESG, Carbon Tax, Electric Vehicle scam already, the mere fact the Canadian media is now hybrid vehicles to artificial boost Electric vehicle sales, should tell you all you need to know about the failure of EVs.
