🇨🇦 NEW: "Not only would these 12 sub-$40,000 EVs fill the demand for more affordable electric cars and hatchbacks in Canada, they would certainly also provide a much-needed boost to EV sales... (If only Canada would) open the door to European-homologated vehicles," writes @mattbubbers.bsky.social. 👇

Even if current tariffs don't last, this doesn't bode well for Canada's nascent EV sector www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/cultur...

The largest part of Elon Musk's wealth is Tesla, a company with an insanely inflated stock price that is wholly dependent on positive consumer sentiment. Tarnishing Tesla's brand could plausibly cost Musk $100 billion. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/tesla-is-m...

that i like this so much is, I think, mainly about how much I hate the bullshit tech overflowing from every other car www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/cultur...

Your car nerd friend’s new holy grail. (It’s the new Porsche GT3, obviously.) @theglobeandmail.com

Oh yes, I definitely believe Amazon spent millions to build several shipping and fulfillment centres but is now leaving Quebec all at once for reasons that have nothing to do with unions organizing the 1700 workers. www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/com...

today's other inauguration, Hamilton sworn in at Ferrari

Holy shit he made it to the finish line!

Car companies in Canada predictably upset about feds not renewing $5000 EV rebate. Will you rush to buy an EV before the rebate ends? Do you care? Do you want cheaper, smaller EVs, or no EVs? How can Canada hit climate targets?

Charging giant vehicles more to park seems like common sense public policy to me www.nytimes.com/2024/02/05/w...

Jordan’s story is amazing. He’s starting a tough thing today. Follow along and support this guy @theglobeandmail.com #dakar www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/cultur...

For all the hand wringing about EVs in 2024, Hyundai Canada is doing just fine. More than fine actually. Early estimates from the company put ZEVs at 33% of national sales; EVs at around 18%, a 40% YoY increase. @theglobeandmail.com #EVs

nice to see this story on actual newsprint in @theglobeandmail.com yesterday

This morning, Cycle Toronto launched a Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Section 7 challenge to the provincial government’s Bill 212. The lawsuit also seeks an immediate injunction to prevent the removal of target bike lanes on Bloor, University, and Yonge. 1/

"We all have to move forward with it; electrification is where it’s going to be. We’re depending on this, for my bread and butter, for my family. When these cars go out the door, I get to come in another day." - worker at Windsor Assembly @theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/cultur...

Often lost in the #EV conversation is an understanding that livelihoods, families, cities, food and shelter are on the line. Any “just transition” takes care of workers first, not as afterthought. @theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/cultur...

The workers in Windsor know everything is on the line right now @theglobeandmail.com www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/cultur...

Hi! I write about cars, transportation, bike lanes, EVs, public policy and most importantly cool '90s cars. My first story for @theglobeandmail.com Style Advisor all about millennial nostalgia: www.theglobeandmail.com/life/style-a...

Been a long road to get here: the first made-in-Canada mass-produced electric car. Recently got an exclusive look inside Stellantis Windsor Assembly Plant talking with workers building this thing. Story soon for @theglobeandmail.com

Often think about this by my friend @rorycarroll.bsky.social and think it mostly applies to Canada too jalopnik.com/what-if-amer...

It’s good to use the right words.

Thanks!

My latest for @theglobeandmail.com. Doug Ford's government will have blood on its hands if it goes through with this www.theglobeandmail.com/drive/cultur...

it’s like removing guardrails and dividers from highways and telling drivers: if u die oops that's on you! www.thetrillium.ca/news/municip...
