What is the breakdown of electrical power generation in your area of Canada? Your EV may still be mostly/entirely fossil-fueled.

It's 100% hydro and wind in most of Québec (second-most populous province). The number for _all_ of Québec is something like 98%, but that 2% is remote communities that can't reasonably be connected to the provincial grid (like the Magdalen Islands). The main grid is 100% renewables.
