I'll admit though, she's not wrong. It doesnt affect shipping companies with EV fleets as much.
What percentage of the market do they make up?

Self driving EVs (such as semis, vans, etc) for shipping purposes would be an amazing boost for the economy. But we are 5+ years away from that being a reality. Heck, maybe saying 5+ is Elon Musk talk. It could be 10+.
The amount of battery development and manufacturing needed to be able to replace our shipping fleets with EVs would be insane. Every single EV manufacturer is struggling just getting normal vehicles built, and right now there is crazy demand for EVs from consumers.
Given the information access you'd think she has access too in regards to EV development, one does wonder how bloody stupid you have to be to talk to that in one of the bigger logistical and shipping based areas in Canada. Tone deaf is a nice way of putting it.
