I know the report is for the US but it also applies to Canada because we have an almost identical car market, regulations, and truck culture.

I never thought of it this way. I always hear from truck owners "it's not too bad on gas too, 12L/100km so she goes about 1000km before needing a fill" or something along those lines. Makes me laugh on the inside. Definitely not looking forward to an influx of bigger heavier EVs!
