According to Automotive News, a September survey published by the think tank Clean Energy Canada showed that 48 percent of respondents want an EV as their next car. And now that Canada will be allowing some Chinese EVs into the market, close to half of those potential customers are willing to wait for them.

None of those companies sell in Canada. Renault will be selling only the premium Alpine brand in 2027.

Renault had a decent presence in the 80s, they sold a lot of Renault 5s in Quebec. But then they had partnerships with Chrysler and made shit cars that ruined the brand. Citroen left the CDN market in 1974. The cars rusted just looking at them.
