Abacus Data | Almost 80% Of Canadians Open to Owning an Electric Vehicle
Summary
In the latest round of survey work by Clean Energy Canada and Abacus Data, only 21% of Canadian adults think they “probably never will” own an electric vehicle.

As more people are exposed to a wider range and ideally more affordable options, all signs are that this trend is going to gather momentum in the years to come.” According to Joanna Kyriazis, Clean Energy Canada’s transportation program manager: “Electric vehicles can be seen everywhere these days—on roads, in Super Bowl ads. A random sample of panelists were invited to complete the survey from a set of partner panels based on the Lucid exchange platform.
