EV's have the potential to be a very good urban vehicle, but that does not help those of us living in rural, isolated areas of Canada.  To get to the nearest city, I would require an electric vehicle capable of going 500 km's on a charge with far higher demands in winter where temperatures routinely go to lows of -40 C. In short, good idea, needs a lot of work to implement for those of us not in a major city.
