I imagine this varies regionally (I'm in Eastern Canada), but we keep running into limited availability issues.

I'd consider myself in the early(ish) part of the mass-market adoption curve. I'm not an early adopter (I don't have an EV yet), but I'm interested and keeping an eye on them.

We're ready to purchase an EV, but I'm not ready to pay to get on a waiting list for a vehicle I can't see or test-drive.

Until I can go to a few dealerships and see/drive the low/mid-priced EV models, it's going to be difficult to make the decision to spend $40,000 to $60,000.

I found it strange how little chargers there are in eastern Canada last time I went. In the US West Coast, smallish towns have one or two Tesla supercharger. I rented a Tesla in Quebec last summer and the supercharger stations were quite far apart and very busy. Something doesn't add up.
