NDP wants tariffs on Teslas and a $10K made-in-Canada EV rebate

The NDP, led by Jagmeet Singh, proposes to implement 100% tariffs on Tesla vehicles due to the ongoing trade war with the U.S. And increase the rebate for Canadian-made electric vehicles to $10,000.
Since May 2019, the Liberal government has offered up to $5,000 off electric vehicles, but funding for this program has now run out, impacting buyers.
In 2024, Tesla vehicles accounted for one in five of the over 215,000 rebates issued, highlighting the program's popularity.
Quebec buyers received more than half of the rebates in 2024, totaling over $618 million, showcasing the program's success.
