Many Canadians are unlikely to purchase electric vehicles (EVs) and continue to have concerns about how affordable and reliable they are, according to a federal pollster.

“As in previous years, uncertainty persists around issues such as charging capacity, maintenance costs, and resale value,” pollsters wrote in a report, adding that increased EV education and awareness initiatives are needed.
