A recent survey shows not all Canadians are ready to make the switch to an electric vehicle as they have concerns about charging stations, cold weather and battery life.

Because they are >$60,000 toys! The Lightning pickup weighs 3 FUCKING TONS it has a 5.5" box and seats 5 people!?! That's just a minivan but worse.

If something like this actually comes on the market and doesn't stay speculative vaporware I will buy one without a second thought. It's small, has a 6 foot bed, weighs under 2 tons and a 400km range (which is WAY more than you need if you charge every night). Not as efficient as a commuter car but still better than any combustion vehicle AND it can carry all the groceries, beer crates and top soil that I need.

I'm hoping the canoos can be as good as they claim for the price too.

That's an assload of glass on the front but otherwise they look kinda cool.
