To my understanding, you can purchase a model and receive the government subsidy, but a technological protection measure stops it from having the full range unless you pay more for it. Basically, you have an engine and a battery that can take you x kilometres, but it's artificially limited in order to sell you the engine.
I'm just asking if you think this practice should be examined by the Government of Canada, or if you think this public subsidy should go to cars where these measures can be put in place.
