The National Post reports in its Saturday edition that U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tariff on the auto sector is a new blow to electric vehicle owners in Quebec but, in the province with the most electric vehicles in the country, EVs were already losing their lustre. The Post's Antoine Trépanier writes that Robert Brunelle, a resident of Saint-lambert, Que., is almost relieved after getting into a car accident last year. He bought a Tesla Model S in 2021 because it's "a great car." It is fast, quiet and boasts cutting-edge technology. Mr. Brunelle soon realized that recharging his car every 350 or 400 kilometres (and less in winter) was a pain. For a sales representative who was often on the road, the electric vehicle was not exactly what he needed. Then came the accident. The car was scrapped and he had to replace it. "The decision to go back to gasoline was easy for me," he said. Then there's the Trump factor, of course. Ever since the Republican started hanging out with the world's richest man and Tesla boss, Elon Musk, life has been tough for Tesla owners. "You don't want to be identified with Musk," Mr. Brunelle says. "With what he's doing now, I wouldn't have been the proudest guy to own a Tesla."
