the Canadian government announced in December that they plan to phase out the sale of gas-powered light duty vehicles by 2035.

 Although transportation accounted for 63 per cent of the N.W.T.'s greenhouse gas emissions in 2021, only 7.5 per cent of overall emissions come from light duty cars, SUVs and pickup trucks, while 24 per cent come from heavy duty diesel vehicles like transport trucks.

So, 31.5% come from what? Tractors? Construction equipment like excavators and dozers? Trains?

and 37% come from industrial exhaust and  cows?

    1. One of the biggest drivers to switch to EV is to lower your gas cost. Hertz doesn't pay for gas. The customer does.
      I never understood why a rental car company would go for an EV fleet beyond some marketing "benefit"
