When I called you on it you said most of your electricity was Hydro generated, therefore near zero pollution (which is true for that portion) other than that its the furtherest thing from the truth but for all you greenie weenies, facts don't matter.
Truth is most electricity is still generated by fossil fuel between coal and natural gas almost 70% in the US. Hydro is only about 6%. I understand Canada may be different but there are a lot more cars in US then in Canada.
As far as it being free every time you post about how much it costs you to run it as opposed to a nonelectric car.

Hi Dvae,
I never said it was free, and never implied it. Your post above even confirms this, so you dun goofed.
How clean electricity is varies greatly from where you get it. As you correctly said, electricity is pretty clean here in Canada, and very clean in Quebec. It's also the cheapest in Quebec. It makes a lot of sense to drive electric here.
There are many other places in Canada such as Alberta that have 7 coal fired plants, and places in the US and around the world that generate electricity from Coal, so going EV is less green. However with some pressure by consumers, voters and politicians, maybe one day those carbon-electric plants can be replaced with something better.
