Canada is dropping the EV tariffs and will be importing 50k Chinese EVs per year. Carney quoted as saying by 2030 an EV in Canada will cost $35k which is a sure shot more affordable than buying the latest $80000 Child Obliterator

It's 1k more than Tesla sold in Canada last year, and it's a ramping-up number year-over-year. Also, the comparison must be made to how many EVs were sold in Canada, not how many cars overall, and this is basically an extra 25-30% of the total EV supply sold in 2024.

    As an addendum, if EVs are forced to become cheaper, all other cars must follow or go unsold. This is also a strategic entry for Chinese EVs into North America. They're such overwhelmingly better cars that they make all American cars look bad in comparison.
