A Tory government would get rid of the government’s sales mandate for electric vehicles (EVs), Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced on April 24.
The Liberal government introduced new regulations in December 2023 that would require 20 percent of all new passenger vehicles sold in Canada to be zero-emission vehicles by 2026, including fully electric or plug-in hybrid models. The quota rises each year, to 60 percent by 2030, and 100 percent by 2035.
