    Bolt vs Golf

    Quality = eGolf Range and performance = Bolt it's that simple! Yes, i drove both and have been reading extensive reviews. If you're ok with spending $46K on a DAP eGolf, that's near the price of a bolt. So if you throw out the price argument, the eGolf is better quality, handling, comfort etc...

    French Auto website goes 329km in 2017 eGolf

    That has nothing to do with it. Canada decided back in the '70s to switch over to metric for everything. They didn't ask the UK the permission to do so. They don't need to. Most of the commonwealth countries have switched over to metric as well. I think it's just Australia and the UK which still...

    Ontario, Canada - Ways to apply $14k MTO rebate

    The rebate won't fall in an election year. Stop worrying about that... WON'T HAPPEN! What you need to worry about is after the June election. I think the reality is that 2018 will be safe. If the conservatives do kill the program, it'll probably be just for 2019 models. You can expect a huge...

    egolf with DAP available for test drive in GTA?

    Yorkdale VW sucks... as far as eGolf is concerned. They didn't know anything at all, no demo and didn't even give me a price. The Green "demo" wasn't actually a demo. It was a custom ordered customer car which the customer cancelled and lost his $1000 deposit. it was listed on Trader.ca for a...

    Ontario, Canada - Ways to apply $14k MTO rebate

    The rebate in Ontario is maximum 30% of MSRP or $14K, after taxes, for vehicles that qualify for the full rebate. Vehicles above $150K don't qualify (the high end Teslas). The incentive program is to continue until 5% of vehicles sold in Ontario are "green vehicles". That means plug-in hybrid...

    Ontario, Canada - Ways to apply $14k MTO rebate

    That's from BC. They'll be applying the rebate after taxes instead of before like they currently do. Makes sense. In Ontario, the rebate is after taxes. Ontario won't change the program, except make it even better than now, in an election year. No way the Liberals are going to reduce or...

    Canadian Federal Government incentives

    There's no government incentive to make manufacturers sell more EVs. In California, they're forced to sell "zero emissions" cars. In Canada, provinces only give incentives to consumers, not sellers. And since most big brands, like VW, sell gas cars, which they make a lot of after-sales money on...

    Ontario, Canada. Volks dealerships are inconsistent

    Very few people have gotten theirs. I got a call from my dealer (Georgetown) yesterday about another matter. When I inquired about delivery date, they had no better answer than last as "spring 2018". They did tell me that they've only delivered 2 in total so far. So since June 2017. That's 2 in...

    Odd EV of the day

    Manufacturer plates have nothing to do with where a car is actually built. It's an interchangeable plate the manf. can use when testing mules or early prototypes in a specific state.

    New Nissan leaf debuts tonight

    Hard to do that in Canada for EVs. They're notoriously difficult to find. You have to pre-order them. Models I've asked about that must be pre-ordered: - eGolf - Bolt - i3 - Leaf - Volt (Most dealerships) - Ioniq Even when they do have one, it's usually a demo they won't sell or some...

    New Nissan leaf debuts tonight

    I just got a call from my Dealership in Ontario (Canada). Apparently I won't be getting a 2017, I'll be getting a 2018. In the springtime. Well then Volkswagen, this opens you up to competition. The new leaf is coming in springtime and it's exactly the same price. I think I'll be paying Nissan a...
