Ottawa’s quota for Chinese-built electric vehicles has passed a milestone nobody in Ottawa was aiming for. Global Affairs Canada’s utilization report now shows 9,235 vehicles cleared into the country under the 24,500-unit first window that runs March 1 to August 31 — about 37.7% of the allocation, with 15,265 permits still on the table and roughly six weeks left on the clock.
Two months ago the number was 2,910. The acceleration is real. What’s more interesting is what’s inside it.
