Green Plate-Ontario Canada

[Atul Thakkar]

Do we know we have to pay a premium to get green plate v/s traditional plate ?

 

[miltondweller]

to the best of my understanding, there is a premium for the green plates.

The plate fee is a fixed $27 (no extra fee for green).

When I tried to look up the US vs Canada production quantities two weeks ago I found VINs in US up to 6000 and 471 in Canada.

Today I see a US VIN of JHMZC5F15JC009917 and JHMZC5F38JC800492 in Canada. Given the usual 10:1 market size you would think there would have been 1000 delivered to Canada! At least the production rate seems quite high, so the Canadian supply issue could be fixed relatively quickly.

In the last two weeks the US VINs have gone up to 10944, and the Canadian have gone up to 509, so 1027 new cars in the US and 17 in Canada

We should get the April sales numbers next week, but with the lack of supply I doubt we will be seeing much of an increase.

This ****ing sucks. I'm tempted to buy a used i3 and give up on this car or maybe just an accord hybrid...

Lorem, keep calm. This is a good car.Time has already passed by almost 5 week. We will drive this vehicle for a long time. Forget about it for some time and u will be fine. Hope this helps.
