Bastards. I think they will all do something for EV's that currently don't pay road tax. The hybrid is a ball-buster. That article doesn't differentiate between plug-in hybrid and non-plugin. For many people with a non-plugin hybrid, that fee will wipe out their gas savings and they have paid more for a vehicle that saves them nothing.

a third of adults in GTA don't drive.
Funny how Norway manages and yet you keep throwing up barriers.
The average commute return is 70 minutes for the GTA - 16 km each way. - even the weakest EV works weekly let alone the ranges coming out now.
You don't need daily charging, you barely need weekly charging.
Oslo has about the same commute time for 1.5 million people and arguably worse weather
I distinctly remember when the mid to late 80's Maxima was all the rage in Toronto. Chrome applique on the lower door panels and a gold crown tissue box cover in the back window. It was a good looking vehicle.
I changed about 2 L of CVT fluid out of my Jatco CVT on my Jeep Patriot FDII every year. Used my PELA extractor and a dipstick level gauge to refill. Pulled an 18ft bowrider every summer with it. Sold it 12 years/200K later and it still ran great.
Hmm that's a good idea. The 62TE in my van is at 120 000 km on its supposedly lifetime fill. No dipstick, no drain plug. I should see how much I can suck out from the top.

In his case, if you replace the same amount you extract, ypu are in a better position than you started even if you have no idea about proper fill level. You are at the same level but have at least some fresh fluid mixed in.
Getting close...need more range, a little less money, a little faster charge - all are possible with stuff in the pipeline. Swappable battery a good thing.
Conquer the urban jungle with style. The all-new Zero LS1 redefines what city riding can be: sleek, silent, and effortlessly modern. Designed for tight streets and quick escapes, it glides through traffic with precision and parks where others can’t.
8 years this week with my 2019 Chevy Bolt. Unlike most 8 year old vehicles, the EV still drives like new (very responsive - 200hp/266lbs/torque). It's hands down the best commuter I've ever owned. No noticeable battery degradation. Very little maintenance. Only 2 sets of summer and 2 sets of winter tires - which blows the myth that electrics chew tires out of the water. So much fun to drive, I charge overnight so I never have to worry about range, it runs on sunshine (solar panels). My 11 year old Odyssey is proving to be invincible, so I won't be replacing it anytime soon, but it drives like an old van, reliable, but not very responsive. It will eventually be replaced by an electric. Ask me anything if you're interested!
That's far from a myth. Your EV is an anomaly. Most are coming with lots more hp, torque off the line and weight. Those are all rough on tires. You picked a great choice for a commuter.
I think how you drive is the more important factor. You can chew tires on a 90hp manual transmission beater if you spin them all the time. I enjoy "spirited" driving, but I know where the traction limit is for my tires and I keep it below the limit. I'm currently running softer conti extreme contacts with no indications of rapid wear (2nd season).
My 275/45/21's are going to hurt the wallet come replacement time. Most of the wear I suspect is from high power application and high-regen.
There's a light on my commute that I can get through normally if there isn't an advance green at the light before it. But if I have to wait after the advance has run I have to floor it to get to 70 km/hr asap to make it through and only if I'm first in line or the vehicle in front also floors it. If I have to stop at it, the timing is such that I hit the next 4 reds instead of all greens and that pisses me off.
Hmm that's a good idea. The 62TE in my van is at 120 000 km on its supposedly lifetime fill. No dipstick, no drain plug. I should see how much I can suck out from the top.
