Vancouver, BC, March 11, 2022--"The problem with electric cars right now is, you can't get used ones, you can't get new ones." said John Stonier, president of the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association. At the Kia West dealership in Coquitlam, marketing manager Jennifer Wendell said they received a showroom model of Kia's new EV 6 and took 15 orders for the vehicle in one weekend. "Just, it's insane, and also with gas prices, electric is the way that consumers are leaning towards if you think about the cost of ownership," Wendell said.
