The car I'm most interested in at the moment is the Kona. I did take one for a test drive--but had to drive to Saskatoon to do so, and only one of the two dealers had one.
Orders have to be placed and it takes nearly six months before the vehicle may (or may not) arrive.
I believe that dealerships owners are not happy with the lack of post sale servicing the cars require. I've spent upwards of $600 per year on my Elantra which I purchased as a demo in 2014. It had 20,000 kilometers on it and now has just 68,000. Most of that was put on by the person who was storing my car. Now that I have a place to leave it I will be hard pressed to drive it nearly that far per month.
Dealers may be knocked back to doing tires, brakes, and detailing. And brakes may last a heck of a lot longer if the EV driver is willing to run on the "strong regeneration" setting.
