A new automaker has entered Canada’s electric vehicle market giving some consumers looking to purchase a new vehicle more options.
Lotus, owned by the Chinese Geely Group, recently shipped its first Eletre EVs to Canada under a Canada-China deal signed in January. The premium SUV, made in Wuhan, is the first Chinese-owned and Chinese-built EV available for sale in Canada. The high-end vehicle starts at $119,000, while the fully loaded model sells for $159,000.
… Jody Thomas, Canada’s former National Security and Intelligence Advisor to prime minister Justin Trudeau, said that by law the Chinese state has access to any data gathered by the EVs.
Just the cost of doing business with the Chicoms.
