Open the door to cheaper electric vehicles from Europe, advocates urge
- Advocates are urging the federal government to allow cheaper electric vehicles from Europe by eliminating the need for re-certification, as the current 100% tariff on Chinese EVs limits options in Canada.
- Daniel Breton, head of Electric Mobility Canada, claims that European EVs should not need re-certification for Canadian standards, calling current requirements "total B.S."
- A poll from Clean Energy Canada shows that 70% of Canadians support importing European-approved EVs, with only 10% against.
- Transport Canada has stated that European crash testing may not meet Canadian safety needs due to distinct driving environments and vehicle sizes.
