Canada wants all off-road vehicles electric by 2035—but they’re skipping over the inconvenient truth: it could cost $30 billion and devastate rural communities. In this episode, I break down the five critical flaws in Canada's EV strategy and what needs to change before it’s too late.
🔍 What you'll learn: • Why 150,000 remote chargers at $200K each is a deal-breaker • The cultural and climate realities blocking rural EV adoption • How electric batteries fail in extreme cold • The math behind the 2035 break-even fantasy • Why 2040—not 2035—is the real target
👷♂️ For rural Canadians who depend on snowmobiles, ATVs, and off-road vehicles, this is about more than green policy—it’s about economic survival.
