So Canada and our stoopendously magnificent Liberal government has upped the date for conversion to electric vehicles to 2035. It follows that if 100% of vehicles are electric you won't have a gas station on every corner from which you can buy gasoline to power your antique or classic gas-engined baby. And even if there remains a niche market to distill gas it most surely will be engine wrecking ethanol blend at about $50 bucks per litre (plus carbon tax).

Follow up question is what happens to all those antique restored vehicles that you can't get or afford gas for. I expect without the ability to drive them most owners will have little incentive to keep them. Museums may take a few but the rest will become expensive garage fillers.

Canada is mandating EV sales — 50 per cent of new cars sold in 2030 must be emissions-free, growing to 100 per cent in 2035 — but nobody is taking the lead to make sure people know what that means in terms of how much electricity, or how many charging stations, will be needed, said Kingston.
