If not, they won't sell. Why would I pay $60,000 for an EV when I could buy the same car powered by an ICE that is half the price? The new Tesla charging station can get you a 500 mile charge in about 18 min.

Just paid off my car in 2018 so I am enjoying some debt relief. Besides, I'm sliding into retirement the next 5 years so I doubt that I'll ever get another car loan.

Upon your retirement, you need to have your turn signal locked into the "on" position. It helps everyone identify you as a retiree. People will pass you and salute you and your retirement. The you're number one salute!

October 10, 20195 yr comment_433368 Alberta eases safety rules issued in wake of Humboldt bus crash Alberta has relaxed safety requirements for newly licensed semi-truck drivers and bus operators, a move that will allow hundreds of drivers to bypass rigorous training and testing standards implemented after the Humboldt Broncos bus crash. The province’s United Conservative government will allow some new truckers and bus drivers who were exempt from Alberta’s new training program for rookie operators to keep their licences without having to, eventually, pass stricter road and knowledge tests, if they have clean driving records. The change applies to farm employees who recently obtained Class 1 licences to drive transport trucks for agricultural purposes and new Class 2 drivers exclusively operating school buses. It also applies to anyone who received either category of licence in the six months before the new rules took effect in March. The changes come amid a larger debate about the trucking industry and safety standards, particularly as it relates to new commercial-truck drivers. A Globe and Mail investigation published Oct. 5 revealed how some companies are using untrained temporary foreign workers as drivers, putting lives at risk across the country. The Globe reported in September that Alberta’s government was considering relaxing requirements for truckers in the agricultural industry, which argues that its drivers are travelling comparably short distances and should not be subject to the same rules as commercial long-haul operators. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta/article-alberta-eases-safety-requirements-for-newly-licensed-semi-truck-and/
