Federal figures show China EV deal gives Beijing access to half of Canada’s electric vehicle market

Federal documents show Ottawa has agreed to grant Chinese manufacturers access to a volume of electric vehicle imports equivalent to roughly half of Canada’s battery electric vehicle market, despite previous government claims the arrangement represented only a small share of sales.

Blacklock’s Reporter says details tabled in the House of Commons reveal the federal government has committed to allowing 49,000 Chinese-made battery electric vehicles into Canada this year, with the quota rising to 63,037 vehicles by 2031.
