Less than half of Canadians say they will buy an electric vehicle as their next car: survey (toronto.ctvnews.ca)

A recent survey shows not all Canadians are ready to make the switch to an electric vehicle as they have concerns about charging stations, cold weather and battery life.

Even if money was no object, and I could buy a regular car or an EV, I still would hesitate to buy an EV. They are spy boxes, and I will absolutely not pay money for a car that spies on me.

You do realize that link says it's a problem with all cars, right? If you're buying new (or recently used), this isn't a valid excuse to avoid EVs. It is certainly a good reason to be pissed off at auto manufacturers.

It's in 100% of EVs and only a problem in the most modern cars. I wouldn't get either, TBH.

It's even the charging stations that you'd have to worry about...
