CANADA VS. U.S. TRAFFIC FATALITY RATES
Are Canadian drivers better than Americans? Up until 2014 both countries had similar traffic fatality rates. But from 2011 to 2021, fatalities in the U.S. increased 33% to more than 43,000, while in Canada they fell 18%. Traffic deaths involving pedestrians and cyclists and fatalities involving large trucks and young drivers all increased in the U.S. while they declined in Canada.

Toyota bZ4X limited leasing

TOYOTA bZ4X ONLY $199/MONTH

If you’re interested in a Toyota bZ4X, now is the time to get one. The model can be leased in some states for as low as $199 per month for 36 months, which is cheaper than a Corolla. It’s also including a free-year of charging at EVGo stations. The deal is available until the end of September, which is when the federal EV tax credit is being eliminated. Through the first six months of the year, Toyota has sold around 9,200 bZ4X’s in the U.S., which is down 2% compared to last year.

I have plenty of EVs but if you're on the fence, a relatively low cost to 'test the waters.'
