“It was a little bit of a leap of faith,” said Rosalind Kelly, describing how she purchased her first electric vehicle. Instead of buying a new car from a dealership, Kelly, who lives in rural Manitoba, bought her plug-in hybrid EV, a used Chevy Volt 2017 Lt, three years ago on the online marketplace Kijiji.
The biggest motivator, she said, was the price: a new car that she had her eye on would have cost almost twice as much.
