B.C. moves up zero-emission vehicle target, with 100-per-cent sales goal by 2035

B.C.’s proposed amendments to make it easier for people purchasing their next vehicle to choose electric

The British Columbia government is taking steps to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles to meet its 100-per-cent sales target five years sooner than initially planned.

The accelerated timeline would mandate automakers to meet an escalating annual percentage for light-duty zero-emission vehicle sales and leases, with targets of 26 per cent by 2026, 90 per cent by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2035. It noted the legislation means automakers face the prospect of a significant penalty for every non-zero-emission vehicle sold beyond the allowable limits. Combined with reduced inventory, this could drive up the price of all vehicles, both new and used, it said.

The province said it has consistently exceeded sales targets for zero-emission vehicles since the act was first passed in 2019.
