As electric vehicle (EV) sales continue to soar, Canadian policymakers are facing a pressing question: how to turn the surge in demand into widespread mainstream adoption. With the federal government's goal of electrifying 50% of new vehicle sales by 2030, Ottawa is under pressure to create an ecosystem that supports the growth of EVs. From investing in charging infrastructure to offering incentives for consumers, experts say the key to success lies in a coordinated effort to address the remaining barriers to adoption, including range anxiety and high upfront costs. But with EVs increasingly becoming a viable alternative to traditional gas-guzzlers, the momentum is building - and it's up to Ottawa to seize the opportunity and propel Canada towards a cleaner, more sustainable transportation future.
