🔋🚗🪫Well that didn’t go as planned. Waiting list for the Ioniq 5 in Canada is 3 years! You’re putting your name down today in August 2022 for a car that will likely come out in 2025! Electrification my fat ass. This planet is doomed.

@kaa That’s incredibly disappointing, especially when at this rate the Feds will never reach their goal of no combustion vehicles by 2035 I believe it was.

@pimoore I think these global targets are incredibly naive. Here is a person who is will to go in on electric (whatever hurdles that means). I can imagine this is a similar theme across many EVs. Will definitely check to see…

@kaa They certainly are naive when this is the momentum they’re putting behind it. I too am ready and willing to invest in an EV, but their cost is still prohibitive (assuming you can even avoid waiting for one). Doesn’t help that Doug Ford scrapped Ontario’s subsidies not long after taking office in his first term, making them financially even less accessible.

@pimoore It’s not the financially smart thing in the short term, but I feel it makes sense longer term for sure. What were you looking at getting?

@kaa I had seen the Ioniq but never looked into it in detail. Initially I had considered the Chevy Bolt or Nissan Leaf, but I’ve heard and read less than stellar reviews about both. I really like the Hyundai Kona, so when it comes time if it’s available that might be what we go for.

@pimoore @kaa Although it won’t apply to you guys, what do you think about the latest bill that passed in the US for EVs? Asking coz I saw Ioniq 5 is not eligible even under the new law.
