Liberal delegation urged Chinese EV maker BYD to boost Canadian demand

CALGARY — A federal delegation visiting China encouraged electric vehicle giant BYD to generate more demand for its cars in Canada and consider establishing production operations here, according to a newly released report to Parliament.

The visit came as Canadian automakers warned that Ottawa’s guaranteed five-year quota allowing 278,989 Chinese electric vehicles into the country could threaten domestic manufacturing jobs, according to Blacklock’s Reporter.
