That would make me want to cut the heads off parking meters.
The way EV subsidies are implemented seems to be universally awful, but to pull the plug suddenly is another level of awful.

Lol another example of how car dealers are looking out for YOUR best interest!
All those attempts to ban direct sales in the US are why I bought stock a few years back. If no other reason, I want Tesla to break the dealership model. Wanna guess who bought and paid for this?

Every cloud has a silver lining. If Ontario steps out others will receive their Model 3 earlier.
Something had to be done. Torontan air was too clean.

Looks like Canada is broke and they are just now figuring it out.

Who is this $14 Grand paid to???some times you can follow thd money to answer the ultimate question of; Why?. Other times not. The way the artical reads the market for trading/selling carbon credits is about to go belly up... so the Canadian gov is pulling out with out as much as a thank ye or a spit.
The 14g was paid/ subsidized with carbin credits . Is the Canadian government insider trading, knowing the carbon credit Market is going to crash, so they're getting out early while they still have something of value?
What other make EV are affected? All. Tesla (dealerliss) july11,18 COB the rest Sep10,18.

In the United States the carbon credit exchange IPO went belly up some time back around 2009, once people realize it was a scam, had no assets and really wasn't worth anything.
