Canada’s electric vehicle transition is a matter of much debate, but the gears of industry and policy are already in motion to roll the vehicles out en masse.
Even if a new government were to reverse the federal mandate of all zero-emission sales for light-duty vehicles by 2035, many provinces have their own mandates in place.
In British Columbia and Quebec, the policies are even more stringent than Ottawa’s. Quebec, for example, recently announced it would ban the sale of used gas engines by 2035 as well. International policy also has some impact on Canada, as EU countries and U.S. states bring their own mandates, impacting vehicle supply.
