A new tax on electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids has sparked reactions from dealerships and car owners in Nova Scotia, raising concerns about affordability and the future of clean transportation. Dealers warn the levy could discourage sales and slow the shift to zero-emission vehicles, while some consumers question whether the policy will make sustainable options less accessible. The government insists the measure aims to balance environmental goals with economic fairness, though critics argue it may disproportionately affect lower-income buyers. The debate highlights tensions between promoting green technology and ensuring it remains within reach for everyday drivers.
