At a glance these look ontario-specific, am I off-base? Never heard of TVO before.

Not US-based, but at least close, these Canadian sites I found quite useful

https://electricvehicles.bchydro.com/buying/EV-models-in-BC

https://ev.plugndrive.ca/vehicles

Keep in mind, a CAD $ ≈ 75¢US so price range will look off. Most of the models available will be available in both markets but they'll be slightly different trims and slightly different MSRP after currency conversion.

less bulbous front end

Literally the second worst thing about the model 3 was that bulbous nose. Good to see it's changing.

...for one particular battery design from one particular brand.

Wait, how is this a hot take? We as taxpayers subsidize gas heavily. We know how bad internal combustion engines are for the environment. Our climate is causing catastrophic disasters at an increased scale and frequency. I think it's about time we begin to stop subsidising the oil & gas industry.

1-5% of total range capacity per year on average

That's nowhere near how little degredation is actually seen in the data you yourself provided.

And you're cherry-picking the worst car in the study to highlight (Tesla Model S).

Care to explain? They're a massive environmental leap forward from ICE vehicles. Many places in Canada need transport just like personal vehicles, and transportation is a huge portion of Canada's GHG emissions. So how else would we reduce that portion of our environmental footprint?

There's multiple at Markville Mall, one is East Markham at the Scotiabank on HWY48, a set of them at the Hyundai Canada head office that are open to the public, and two Tesla supercharger sites in addition to the two you mentioned. That's just the DC Fast chargers, there's more than a few level 2 chargers at grocery stores, civic centres, and shopping malls.

Use this source: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html#/analyze?fuel=ELEC and filter it to DC Fast Chargers

And there's only 185 charging locations in Quebec (with 529 ports, which is NOT how they should be counted).

The Departure Bay (near downtown Nanaimo) BC Ferry takes 95minutes of sailing to reach Horseshoe Bay on the west tip of West Vancouver. Then if you're a foot passenger it takes another 41minutes to get to Granville & Georgia via the 257 Express Bus. Total 156minute (2hr & 36min) travel time (excluding any waiting to embark, disembark, catch the bus, etc...).

Foot passenger fees for each leg are $19.45 and $3.15, for a $22.60 total.

It's going very well in Vancouver and most of its suburbs.

Maybe consider starting to play with Darktable. Get a sense if it is a viable alternative to support.
