Kia
The other non-luxury brand in the Hyundai Group is well represented in the all-electric segment as well. Kia did drop the Soul EV last year, but it still offers three fully electric options for Canadian buyers.
The Niro EV, EV6 and EV9 all bring unique skillsets to the table, from the plucky Niro runabout to the somewhat grandiose EV9 three-row SUV. The EV6 splits the difference between the two, offering grand touring-like styling (as well as a high-performance GT model) with just a little extra space inside. It can also act as a power generator itself, allowing you to power a campsite or tailgate party.

Mazda
Other markets have said goodbye to the plucky MX-30 subcompact crossover with the suicide doors but not Canada; it's still available here, still privy to government incentives.
Now, with a max range of just 161 km you aren’t going to want to venture too far out of the city (or, indeed, too far from the nearest charging station) but as a second car, its spacious and well-equipped interior could be just the ticket.
