Expensive battery replacements and a lack of charging infrastructure also worry Canadians
Intentions to buy a fully electric vehicle within the next two years fell to 15 per cent this year, compared with 18 per cent in 2023, the report shows.
The top concerns survey respondents have are the limited driving range, the price tag of EVs, expensive battery replacements and a lack of charging infrastructure.
Jennifer Rogers, automotive and transportation leader at EY Canada, says consumer concerns need to be addressed if Canada wants to meet its target of all new light-duty vehicle sales being zero-emission by 2035.
