One of the things we talk about a lot here in the House of Commons is affordability. It's a matter that all of my colleagues care about. The total cost of ownership of an electric vehicle, even without subsidizing the upfront cost, is a clear win for electricity due to the reduced maintenance costs and, in particular, more plentiful electricity, which we can produce ourselves through renewable energy projects here in Canada.
What are the obstacles that are preventing faster adoption? Is there something we can do through smart public policy to help advance this process more quickly?
