The Canadian government has finalized its EV sales mandate, which will ban new ICE vehicle sales by the 2035 model year and imposes penalties for noncompliance.

Trump’s planned 25% tariff on Canadian imports has already provoked one Canadian politician to propose 100% tariffs on U.S.-made Teslas, further straining economic relations.

Currently, the Canadian government has mandated that 20 percent of passenger vehicle sales countrywide be ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicles), with 60 percent by 2030 and 100 percent by 2035.
