US EditionCar shoppers pessimistic about Canada’s zero-emissions vehicle sales target: survey
- A J.D. Power online survey of close to 4,000 Canadians interested in purchasing a new vehicle revealed that three-quarters are skeptical the government will meet its goal of selling exclusively zero-emission vehicles by 2035.
- The goal for all new light-duty vehicles to be zero-emissions by 2035, established under Justin Trudeau’s administration, is now viewed with doubt, especially following the federal government’s recent suspension of an EV rebate program that offered up to $5,000 in incentives.
- Interest in electric vehicles in Canada remains steady at 28%, a slight decrease from 29% last year, while Tesla’s ranking dropped significantly, falling to eighth place in the list of most-considered EV brands.
- The temporary halt of the incentive program had a negative impact on 42% of potential electric vehicle buyers, and director J.D. Ney commented that stopping the rebates will likely hinder the growth of EV adoption.
- Survey results suggest Canada is unlikely to meet the 2035 target soon, but EVs will gradually grow in market share and remain part of the mobility solution.
