      Here are the details

      * Introduce tougher emission standards for car model years 2027-32. The goal is to make EVs 75 per cent of sales by 2035 and 90 per cent by 2040.

      * Reinstate the EV subsidies for consumers of up to $5,000 for battery electric and fuel EVs, and up to $2,500 for plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) with a sales price of up to $50,000. The subsidies only apply to cars made in countries with which Canada has a free-trade deal. For Canadian-made EVs and PHEVs, there is no price cap.
      Spend $1.5-billion on new EV charging infrastructure.

      * Spend up to $3.1-billion to help the auto industry grow and diversify to new markets.
      * For autoworkers, introduce worksharing to reduce layoffs and new training initiatives.

      And the reaction from the Canadian Climate Institute: https://climateinstitute.ca/news/new-federal-auto-strategy-shows-future-is-electric/

      We don’t need to be subsidizing $80,000+ dodge charger EV’s (which are currently the only EV made in Canada to my knowledge). No cap just incentivizes OEMs to fix prices higher than they should be and essentially pocket the rebate money for themselves.

      > But the maximum $5,000 and $2,500 rebates will only be available for 2026. Starting next year, both rebates decrease steadily until the program is slated to end after 2030.

      So again the EVs that are going to benefit the most are the luxury models. Takes time to get manufacturing set up and by the time cheaper EVs roll out the subsidy will be gone.

      I think this is a good realistic approach to incentives. I only wish they would post date the rebates to last year for me LOL

      As someone currently living in middle of nowhere BC I hope that the infrastructure funding makes it through to the Fortis service area although I don’t really have high hopes when Fortis is a gas company too. It’s kind of a black hole around here compared to the BC Hydro service area. There’s enough infrastructure for it to be acceptable but nothing faster than a 100 kW charger in the whole area unless you want to give Tesla money. A bunch of the cities also charging like 39c/kWh ripoff prices for their slow chargers when you don’t have a choice too. With that said I still love having an EV in general, this stuff is just more of an annoyance. 

      Anyways I also like that the altered targets end at 90%, it’s good to acknowledge that it will never be 100 percent as there are just some use cases where it will never make sense. Hopefully the overall emissions standards changes are effective in driving change towards the overall goal.

      Still have doubts on these as prices rise substantially when gov rebates are introduced. We’ve seen that with heatpumps. The important thing for something this expensive is more competition all the while making sure its made in Canada AMAP.

      I don’t agree with the subsidies.

      Mandate that the petroleum companies that operate gas stations in Canada ( not the independents) install two charging stations and then use the money that you would have spent on subsidies to build out around them.

      How about some Ebike rebates, that are accessible to more people, on lower income tiers??? Not everyone can afgord a car, and this ends up being something that likely benefits more wealthy people than regular folks trying to get by.

      We had an ebike rebate program in BC that based on income, and it was quickly oversubscribed. That says something about there being a need.

      So Chinese Ev soon to arrive in Canada would probably be cheaper compare to other ev and if one can get 5000$ incentives, it will be even cheaper.

      We don’t need an EV rebate. Why should I pay for someone else to get an EV. IF you wan to promote EV’s remove government taxes and fees.

      Good. Because in about a year, I’ll be in the market for a car. And I love the fact that I will (hopefully) have better and cheaper EV options available to me.
