Research conducted for the Northern Policy Institute found that only 2.2 per cent of all new zero-emission vehicles sold in the entire province last year were registered in Northern Ontario.The federal government defines a zero-emission vehicle as a battery-powered electric vehicle, a plug-in hybrid vehicle or a vehicle powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
Canada as a whole lags significantly behind registrations in other countries, with 5.2 per cent of new registrations in 2021 compared with over 20 per cent in Germany and over 15 per cent in the UK and France. Electric vehicle sales in Ontario dropped sharply after the province dropped rebates for both electric vehicle purchases and the installation of at-home charging equipment in 2018.Both B.C. and Quebec currently offer provincial rebates in addition to the federal program, but Ontario does not.
"You don't necessarily see electric vehicles around all the time, and since we're so reliant on our vehicles I think we're hesitant to try something new when we have concerns that they might not meet all our needs," she said."People want to know that there will be enough charging stations to get where they want to go comfortably before forgoing their gas-powered cars," she wrote.
