There are other fast charging solutions already deployed in North America.
Eg: the Electric Circuit in Quebec, with 66 projected fast charging stations to be opened by year’s end:

3rd gear: the charging network doesn’t have to be exclusively funded by private companies
In Quebec, the government is investing massively in the public charging network, consisting of Level 2 (240V) and Level 3 (400V) charging stations:
Even though the Nokian WR G3 are all weather tires, they are homologated by Transport Canada and are branded with the snowflake logo, therefore, legal for winter driving in Quebec. Same for the Hankook Optimo 4S.
Usually earlier, like November.
December 15 is usually the final date before police start emitting tickets.
Although this, there was very little to no snow in the Montreal region even in late December, due to El Nino.
You are correct: there are a few exceptions like the Optimo, the WRG3 and the Open Country CT that have met Transport Canada’s norms.
That being said, they’re better in the snow than most 4 seasons, and are more adapted for snowbird needs.
Actually, this is incorrect.
The tires must exhibit the Transport Canada issued snowflake logo, which means that the tire is certified for winter driving.

That means that all-season tires are excluded.
And that’s why in Quebec, winter tires are mandatory from December 15 to March 15.
Some may say this is government intervention.
Most will agree this is common sense.

We’re the hockey Olympic Champions.
I can’t hear you over our supremacy.
Nah, you guys lost.
There’s this Tumblr meme that asks whether Canada is real or not.
This rebutal would be appropriate.
I come from Canada.
You may remember us from 1812 when we burned your house down.
“changes the emission behavior [sic] of these vehicles.”
My office has a fast charging station that’s open to the public.
It’s equipped with a SAE-Combo connector (used by European and American manufacturers) and a Chademo connector (used by Asian manufacturers).
We often see Model S cars plugged in: the owner’s have the Chademo adapter (optionnal OEM Tesla equipment).
As a matter of fact, the fast-charging (400V, equivalent to a supercharger) infrastructure is developping at a fast pace, depending on where you live.
With this app, you can view the map of all Level 3 chargers throughout North America:
Dear Doug, I’d like to point out a few mistakes in your Google spreadsheet.
First off, the Can-Am Spyder is manufactured by BRP in Valcourt, QC (Canada).
Second, the T-Rex is manufactured by Campagna in Boucherville, QC (Canada).
The new unit has direct injection and 13:1 compression ratio, so yes, it’s fairly fuel efficient.
But the Mazda 5 is still using the old unit with a 9.7:1 compression ratio, hence the 157hp.
