In July, newly elected Premiere Doug Ford canceled the generous EV program in Ontario with a ‘grace period’ for any eligible vehicles in dealer inventory can still get the rebate as long as it sold and plated by Sept 10. Of course, since Tesla operates differently and does not use a dealer network with inventory, that means rebates ended immediately on July 11 for any customers who had a Model 3 on order - and already paid a deposit - meaning their already-contracted car purchase just increased $14K! . This is completely unfair.

Tesla has allegedly been understanding and graceful in allowing these customers to cancel their order for full refund, now Tesla is suing Ontario for the unfair treatment.

Should be interesting!

The article is light on details, but if this can be scaled up, it does solve the long distance recharge question. I just hope somebody doesn't decide we don't need home charging any more because of it.

Looks like VW is really getting into their punishment.
