Could you post a link for that 15% of the car sale.........

I would like to read it.

Sure. Here’s a link for 2019 9 percent I mentioned. You can google the expected 2020 results. Lots depends on Tesla’s ability to crank them out and allotment to Canada. About half of EV’s sold here are Tesla’s. Three things work for EV sales here.

1. Cheap and abundant power.
2. Expensive gas.
3. Federal and provincial incentives on cheaper models.

That article says 65% of the electric vehicle sales are battery-only. The others are plug-in hybrid. Also, Tesla is about half of that 65% not half of what the article is calling EV's. Still a pretty good chunk of the sales though.

This thread, however, is about the Rivian. At least it got one page to itself. ;)

Classic thread wander. :)

It’ll be interesting to see if they hit the 15 percent they are talking about for 2020. The pandemic dried up access for a bit.

There are a ton of people waiting for electric pickups here but I think the American market will get supplied first. 2022 should see a bunch available here though. The next few years will be interesting. Charging infrastructure is going up faster here as well and now the gas stations are getting it. We need it. Bring it on.
