The Q4 2024 data is in and the model held up well once again! 14.6% of all new vehicles sold in Canada were plug-in vehicles (model predicted 15.5%). Hopefully this new record quarter puts the media myth that EV sales are weakening to bed but I doubt it will. On track for 21% market share in 2025.

Never forget, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning are the actual founders of Tesla. Musk came along years later as a Series A investor and stole credit from the real founders. Eberhard chose the name “Tesla”. Eberhard made the Roadster. Eberhard had the vision. Musk is a grifter.

With new Q3 data comes an updated snapshot of our #plug-in demand projections. The blue line is actual data, red line is projected. We are currently on track to meet the 2024 projection of 15.5% plug-in market share. The model has so far been accurate (if a bit conservative) since inception in 2017.

011

Electric Vehicle Council of Ottawa ⚡️ @evco.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

Wow! Look at that. Another record quarter for plug-in vehicle registrations in Canada. Why does the media keep talking about a supposed “slowdown” in plug-in sales when the objective data shows the exact opposite? Weird. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-60...

Just a reminder that an EV is cleaner than a gas car EVEN if the grid uses coal. In Ontario our grid has no coal and is mostly zero-emissions nuclear, hydro, wind and solar. Expensive “natural” methane gas is still a big percentage but driving an EV is still better.

All of these badges are designed to be misleading. They’re #greenwashing. None of these badges mean the vehicle is low emissions, good for the planet, or an “EV”. All of the cars wearing these badges are polluting vehicles. They all require burning fossil fuels. Don’t fall for the #greenwashing.

Electric Vehicle Council of Ottawa ⚡️ @evco.bsky.social · 19/12/2023

VW group announced it will be using the NACS standard like almost everyone else (looking at you Stellantis…😒) by 2025. VW was the last big domino! This is great news for consumers. Now all companies currently selling EVs in North America are committed to a common charging standard!

001

Electric Vehicle Council of Ottawa ⚡️ @evco.bsky.social · 19/12/2023

Today’s announcement will see the government set a target that 20% of new vehicle sales in Canada be zero emissions by 2026. For those who think this is too high, the industry is ALREADY on track to hit 30% by that point anyway. Our projections from 2017 (red line). The blue line is actual data.

Public transit discussions are often framed in terms of ‘cost to the taxpayer’ whereas road widening is often discussed in positive terms as ‘alleviating traffic congestion’. The fact is widening roads only creates more traffic and has enormous costs while benefiting only a few (aka car drivers).
