It's worth noting that at least EU vs US, most the the better quality EVs are not available. Almost all the long range and more efficient EVs are Chinese-made and are not available in the US. My understanding is that the vast majority of EVs in the EU are these Chinese-made ones because of their hugely superior performance.

I don't know if Canada has the same restrictions on EVs, and I definitely can't speak to longevity or quality of the Chinese-made EVs, only to the charging speed and range. BYD for example is one of these Chinese-made brands prohibited in the US but leading the industry in performance.
