Cheapest EV options in Canada
Hello,
I am wondering what the best deals on Electric cars in Canada are right now?
What could someone expect to pay monthly if financing?
I have a long commute to work (around 80kms every day from Richmond to West Vancouver) and I'm spending around $550 a month on gas. Currently I own a 2004 Toyota Camry that I was just planning on running into the ground. I spend roughly $1000-$2000 a year on car maintenance. It's a pretty decent car and quite reliable. It's a good car, but at 20 years old she's starting to show her age.
With the price of EV's coming down, I am wondering if it might actually be cheaper to finance a new or used EV? I guess I would need to factor in the cost of installing a charger in my parking stall and any changes in insurance cost (currently $1800/year).
Does anyone have any recommendations for a deal on an electric car with a range that can get me to work and back (80 km/day) for less than $500/month?
In your opinion, what is the best value for an EV in Canada right now (used or new)?
Which EV's in Canada have the best value for money?
Can I actually save money by getting an EV vs. paying $550/month on gas?
Should I pull the trigger and get an electric car now, or wait a couple of years until the technology is cheaper/better?
