OTTAWA — With coffers running dry on federal government incentives to purchase zero emission vehicles, Canada’s auto industry says it’s time to do away with plans to phase out internal combustion engines by 2035.
Monday’s closure of the Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) program comes just 12 months before the start of a multi-year EV sales mandate where 20% of all new Canadian car sales must be zero-emission, reaching 100% by 2035.
