I know the report is for the US but it also applies to Canada because we have an almost identical car market, regulations, and truck culture.

And the problem is only going to get worse with EV. Some people didnt want to drive SUV or pick ups because they are "gas guzzlers", but with gas consumption and fossil fuels out of the equation, more and more will choose bigger, heavier vehicles

I never thought of it this way. I always hear from truck owners "it's not too bad on gas too, 12L/100km so she goes about 1000km before needing a fill" or something along those lines. Makes me laugh on the inside. Definitely not looking forward to an influx of bigger heavier EVs!
