I believe EV incentives should include retrofitting existing gas cars to electric, electric motorcycles and limited speed electric motorcycles. Most people cannot afford the price of the electric cars that manufacturers produce, and even with the incentive the cost is just too much for the average Canadian to invest. I believe there is a huge opportunity to enable more road users to move towards electric powered transportation when you can keep the price below $10,000 (the average cost of a electric conversion, or purchase price of a new electric motorcycle).

Additionally we should support and encourage the companies and individuals who want to convert their current vehicle to electric. This could prove to be a more cost efficient way to get a higher number of road users moving under electric power. It also helps to recycle and reuse the existing vehicles we have on the road. There is an industry of mechanics and engineers who will benefit from new services offerings and an opportunity to influence on a world stage that we are leaders in innovation and moving in the right direction to reduce emissions.
