One-fifth of all passenger cars, SUVs and trucks sold in Canada in 2026 will need to run on electricity under new regulations, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault is proposing.
The Canadian PressThe government proposed the new EV regulations Wednesday.By 2030, according to the federal government's plan, the mandate will hit 60 per cent of all sales, and by 2035, every passenger vehicle sold in Canada will need to be electric.
Under new regulations proposed by Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, 60 per cent of all vehicle sales will be EVs by 2030, and every passenger vehicle sold in Canada will need to be electric by 2035. Under the draft regulations, to be formally published on Dec. 30, the government proposes tracking the sales by issuing credits for vehicle sales.
That plan is Canada's broad road map toward hitting its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions across all sectors to a level in 2030 that is 40 to 45 per cent below what it was in 2005. An analysis on Quebec and British Columbia's mandates released last week by the Canadian Climate Institute concluded that the mandates helped both provinces move well ahead of the rest of the country on electric vehicle use.Anna Kanduth, a senior research associate at the institute, said the global supply of zero-emission vehicles is still limited, though it is growing quickly.
