Obviously I would take what the sales dude says with a grain of salt, and I haven't looked into this myself. But potentially, I think it would be worth Badhobz' while to look into it. Quote:

Do I want to spend $50k+ to replace our 10+ and 15+ years old ICE cars with an EV? or should I keep the $15k combined (if I'm being generous) worth of cars and spend that $30k on gas over the next 10 years?

He'll have to do a self-broadcast when he pulls up to a station so we can see the rage fit he has.

FWIW within Metro Vancouver, I think Electrify Canada only has a single charging site in Langley.
And then their (charging) chain is at Abbotsford, Hope, Merrit, and Kelowna.
I guess owners are better off relying on other non Electrify Canada chargers?

Yeah, EA is more of an american thing (they were forced to build out a bajillion station with VW dieselgate money).
Metro Van's pretty saturated:
Tesla's got a ton of stations that work great (unless you have 800v car like Ioniq / Lucid).
BC Hydro in a lotta spots and they have both NACS and CCS so you don't have to bring adapters.
MB also launching a bunch of stations.

BC Hydro charging worked great when I had the Polestar, they just need more stalls.

p.s. also your 15k hunk of trash is probably lacking in safety shit. If you had the modern day collision mitigation crap, or advance safety features its better for you and the family. If you care about keeping your little guangdong bastards alive that is... | $500 a month ain't cheaper than 15k if I'm keeping the thing for over 2.5 years. More like planning to keep it for 10 years.
Pish posh for latest and greatest safety shit. How's the insurance rates for your ev compared to the Hitler mobile? Cuz with all the safety features in a tesla, the prices to insure one really shows how great they are at collision mitigation..... Not. 
All boils down to, my cheap ass doesn't want to be bleeding $500 a month for the rest of my life on car payments. Just bleed for 2.5 years.

well the longer you keep this hunk of shit EV, the more money you make back as long as the battery doesnt fail (battery is warrantied for 10 years anyways).
This lezbaru is 2200 a year. Hitlerbox was around 2100. not expensive at all. my buddy's tesla is 3k a year.

I believe it’s called meridian in Subaru. It’s great! Big sound.
But don’t listen to me, I think a 4 speaker base model Corolla LE sounds adequate. I just turn it up until the bass buzzes the cheap sheet metal.

It took a little while to figure out our charging routine for the wife's Q4 based on our usage. I can charge for free at work, we've got 10 charging stalls. At 5.5 KW that the chargers do, I can get 50% charge in 8 hrs. I'm still hybrid, and I hate going in, so I only bring the EV in once a week.
I'm in an older (50's build) house, so I don't have a 240v in the garage, running a splitter from the laundry room requires drilling and running a new line, so that's a non starter. It'll probably be more cost effective and less hassle to get a full panel redone.
As a result, I can only do 1kw an hour from the 120v plug. It's just over 1% per hour for the Q4. Fraserview to downtown/BCIT is 5-7% for our total daily commute + side trips. Overnight charging is doable but I have to stay on top of it for any week I don't go into the office.
We've taken the q4 to Bellingham for a day trip, but we still prefer taking the Odyssey for road trips.
