Canada has a toothless EV mandate that is actively undermined by both its own domestic auto industry which on the whole is basically refusing to make them -- and when they do price them only as luxury vehicles.

But also by its political right, and at least one of its national newspapers which is continually running anti-EV FUD. Not the least because our second largest sector in the country (after manufacturing) is oil&gas, and the energy sector is the most powerful political-economic block in the country and the source of ideological power & influence in the western half of the country.

Similar tensions in the US.

There are active disinformation campaigns about EVs running constantly, and if you follow the money it always ends up back at the petroleum sector.
