I'm on your Stats Canada website here, and it says that, in 2021, 2.3% were battery electric vehicle sales and in 2022 it rose to 3%.
Electric Autonomy Canada, in a report produced by S&P Global, cited that zero-emission new car sales were at 11.7%. That includes battery only and hybrid models. That's a combined 11.7% of new car sales in 2023. The minister told us here before that “one in five” vehicles sold in 2023 were zero-emission vehicles. That's 20%.
Those numbers are a huge discrepancy from what Stats Canada is reporting and what the industry is reporting. Do you think the minister is delusional or dishonest?
