Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) Comparison from a Richmond Perspective

  • By "Battery Electric Vehicle" we mean a vehicle with an electric motor as its only means of propulsion. We list only vehicles that have an EPA range of at least 150 km. While we applaud those who drive hybrid vehicles because they have taken the first step toward a fully electric vehicle, we believe that only fully electric vehicles can make a meaningful change in the transportation landscape.

  • For Richmond owners, an electric range of 80 km allows for more than two return trips to downtown Vancouver in one day plus an extra margin for safety. For longer trips, we recommend 365 km of range for two hours of highway driving and 525 km for three hours. There is a detailed discussion of range requirements to particular destinations here.

  • The only BEVs available with 7 seats are the Tesla Model X and Model Y, Kia EV9, Mercedes EQB and EQS SUV, Rivian R1S, Vinfast VF9 and Volvo EX90. The 7 seat versions reduce the trunk volume shown in the listing.

Vehicles included in the listing

  • We only list vehicle models that the manufacturer states will be availble in the Canadian market. That excludes many European and Asian models and a few that will only be available in the U.S.

  • For each model, we only list the lowest price version available in Canada and any versions with a larger battery.

  • A number of new electric vehicle manufacturers have displayed prototypes of models with expected shipping dates in 2024 and then not produced them, in many cases because they do not have sufficient investment funding. We only list those vehicles when they are in production.

  • Established electric vehicle manufacturers frequently display new electric vehicles long before they enter production and announce shipping dates that are not kept. Manufacturers often begin producing the more expensive versions first and delay introduction of the least expensive versions. Prices have been volatile with large MSRP adjustments up and down during the year. We list the lowest price version with a shipping date in 2024 and mark it as not available. We mark it as available when it begins shipping to Canadian advance order holders.

Explanatory Notes

  • Most models listed are expected to be available in Canada before the end of 2023. The ones listed as available have begun deliveries to those who pre-ordered. There is a shortage of electric vehicles and for most models, few or none are available in dealer inventories. Pre-ordering is recommended.

  • Maximum Charge Rate refers to the vehicle's Level 3 DC fast charging capability. How fast the vehicle can charge at a Level 3 charging station or Tesla Supercharger depends on both the station's maximum ability to deliver the charge and the vehicle's maximum ability to receive the charge. The chart shows the latter. The higher the number, the faster the charging time. This is a maximum. The charge rate will decrease as the battery gets closer to full and if the temperature of the battery is not optimum. Information on Level 1 and Level 2 home charging is available here.

  • Range is for a combination of city and highway driving as reported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA rating) or the estimated EPA rating announced by the manufacturer for vehicles not yet available. EPA ratings are averaged for a wide range of environmental conditions. Richmond drivers should achieve increased range due to our ideal environmental conditions for electric vehicles. For highway only driving at higher speeds, there is a detailed discussion of range requirements here.

  • Trunk volume is with all seats in normal position. It does not include any storage in the front of the vehicle or "frunk".

  • Manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) is for the base model including freight and destination charges for delivery in Richmond without upgrade options and accessories and before government rebates, dealer discounts and taxes. Both the BC and Federal goverments have a luxury vehicle tax. Details here.

  • Electric Vehicle Rebates

  • The Federal Government rebate is $5,000 after tax. That rebate has not been deducted from the MSRP shown above. The MSRP does include freight and destination charges. The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the base model must be under $55,000 before freight and destination charges. More expensive trim models must not exceed $65,000. In the case of SUVs, pickups and vans, the base model must be under $60,000 and more expensive trim models must not exceed $70,000. Details here.

  • The BC Government rebate is $4,000 after tax. That rebate has not been deducted from the MSRP shown above. The MSRP does include freight and destination charges. The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) cannot exceed $55,000 before freight and destination charges for most models and cannot exceed $70,000 for SUVs, pickups and vans. The maximum rebate is reduced if individual total income for tax purposes exceeds $80,000 or household income exceeds $125,000. Details here.

  • The vehicle dealer will deduct both federal and provincial rebates, if applicable, after taxes at time of purchase and claim it from the governments.
