Canada’s EV boom can go bust if the ecosystem is not ready

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault. 'At a time when Canadians are reeling from the devastating wildfires from this past summer, and the ongoing cost-of-living squeeze, a regulation that will cut carbon pollution by 430 million tonnes and cut the price of electric cars at the same time seems like a no-brainer,' writes Nate Wallace.
