Canada’s most populous provinces are falling behind many U.S. states when it comes to building fast charging stations for electric vehicles, a CBC News analysis shows, raising questions about whether this country’s infrastructure is ready for a transition to cleaner energy.

    1-5% of total range capacity per year on average

    That’s nowhere near how little degredation is actually seen in the data you yourself provided.

    And you’re cherry-picking the worst car in the study to highlight (Tesla Model S).

      You know, I did misinterpret the study data pretty hard. Hazards of rushing a comment I suppose.

      Though, the same article I shared does highlight that the major EV manufacturers do warranty for 30-40% degregation within a 8-10 year period depending on the manufacturer, which even taking the best combination of those 2 values (30%/10 years) does mean that the manufacturers have decided that they could, in their worst case scenario lose up to 3% capacity per year before they’ll honour a warranty. So… take that how you will I suppose.

      As for the cherry picking, I’ll admit that was disingenuous, but not intentional. Again, rushing research causes sloppy mistakes.
