I'm sure you can argue these all sorts of ways, like Calgary has their generation very close to the city, so losses are smaller, but then you have NG extraction and transport which emits methane, which you wouldn't have with an ICE, and on and on. I think the point is an EV may be a little better in Alberta, but not nearly as good as Quebec. So it almost makes sense to distribute limited EV rebates to provinces that have the best electricity mix, if the goal is to reduce emissions. Of course, this comes with the caveat that other provinces don't get to crap on us for fewer EV's, and GFL with that one.
