EV Sales Grew in the Third Quarter. Pace Against the Targets Is the Harder Number

Global News Canada reports that electric vehicle sales grew substantially in the third quarter, but that one expert says they are still not on pace to reach the federal government's updated EV and emissions targets. Growth and pace are different measurements. Sales can rise every quarter and still trail a line drawn by a target that assumes steeper adoption — a gap that only appears when the increase is compared with what the deadline asks for.
