Absolutely. This is one of the main things we're recommending at the Pembina Institute when it comes to the uptake of zero-emission vehicles.
One thing we have noticed in our research is that Canada has a pretty significant supply issue when it comes to zero-emission vehicles. Across Canada, only about a third of dealers have offered at least one plug-in electric vehicle. Outside the main provinces of Quebec, British Columbia and Ontario, it drops down to less than one in five. We see a ZEV standard as something that could be useful on the supply side of the zero-emission vehicle equation.
An interesting stat we noted from Quebec is that it's increased the availability of models from about 66% to 92% of what's available in California.
