Canadian consumers are now privy to company, provincial and dealership incentives that could total more than C$12,000 ($11,200 US) for battery-electric cars such as the Smart ForTwo ED and Ford Focus Electric. With Canadian gas prices pushing towards the $5-a-gallon equivalent (or about a third more than US gas prices), prevailing wisdom would say that Canadians would be more amenable to plug-in vehicles than their American counterparts, but it's slow going, Canada's Globe and Mail says, citing J.D. Power & Associates' Brian Murphy. Advanced-powertrain vehicles account for about five percent of new vehicle sales in the Great White North. Last year, Americans bought about 540,000 hybrids, plug-in hybrids and battery-electric vehicles out of about 15.6 million total light-duty vehicles sold, or about 3.5 percent. Ford and Daimler's Smart division are trying to spur the Canadian numbers with company incentives, and there may be some groundswell behind that. This spring, Montreal was the site of what was, at the time, the world's largest single collection of plug-in vehicles after 431 of their drivers met up, according to the Electric Vehicle Association of Quebec (AVEC). That party broke the previous record of 305 EVs last year as part of the World Advanced Vehicle Expedition (WAVE) in Zurich but was beaten by WAVE's 507 EVs this year. Wireless-charging station maker Evatran is doing what it can to expand its reach to Canada. The company just announced it will work with the Mr. Electric Franchise Group to distribute Evatran's Plugless wireless systems throughout the US and Canada. The Plugless system is already compatible with Nissan Leaf electric vehicles and Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-ins.
