Dodge (they don't even sell economy cars anymore because everyone wants trucks and SUV's) sells more Rams than Toyota sells Corollas. It's not even close and until you dent those sales it really doesn't matter how many small EV's you are selling. Yes there will be inroads made but it's going to take a while and nothing like this article states which is misinformed and ludicrous.

First, just to address that we should be looknig at global trends, not North America's taste in big vehicles, and second, recognize oil demand is global.
OK, lets ignore the article then. You agree that it is going to take awhile. What is your time frame before, say 20% of vehicle sales globally are EV's? Do you think this will mean big trouble for Alberta? When should we worry?
