There is something like 60 major hydro electric dam projects coming in Canada in the next few decades, will this meet the demand of EV's? We are already paying the highest rates for electricity in North America and nearly the highest in the world I believe.......
Toronto will have huge problems especially in the core of the city. Toronto Hydro came out a few years ago and stated that if 10% of the cars on the road were EV the grid couldn't support it. Plus, many people use street parking, how do you plug in when your car is a block away from your house, and you never know where you're going to get a parking spot. I know problems can be solved and many will but I'm still not convinced that this change will happen as quickly as some of the predictions. At this point in time I don't think I'll ever own an EV.

There is a way to solve the problem quite easily...
Stop believing that driving an electric car will
save the planet.
