Do you understand that we don't need to initially replace 4x4 and SUV's with electric to have a big impact on the Alberta economy? It starts with small vehicles, and will develop into larger ones. But even few percent of EV's are going to have an impact. As long as EV's are gaining market share, we are going to have a problem in this province. It isn't all or nothing.
