I am seeing A LOT of Tesla and Chevy Volt cars around the Greater Toronto Area and just spotted one of the new BMW electrics. There are a lot of charging stations in the Toronto region, so that’s not an issue. I should note that I spotted a Tesla dead on the side of the road on secondary hiway outside of Ottawa.

Tje other issues associated with hybrids and full electric vehicles is access to service. You can’t pull into your local auto shop for a quick fix or diagnostic.
There are huge distances to travel outside of Canada's larger cites where the infrastructure is plenty sparse. It really depends where you live on your choice of type of electrical vehicle.
