A majority of B.C. residents do not support electric vehicle (EV) mandates, according to a recent poll, despite the province being among the top for EV sales in 2024.
The Ipsos poll commissioned by the Energy Futures Institute found 56 percent were not in favour of government EV mandates, while 34 percent said they supported the mandates. Results also show that support for the mandate has dropped four percentage points since August 2024, when 38 percent said they supported the mandate and 53 percent said they opposed it.
