Canada considers tariffs on Chinese EVs

Canada is tightening restrictions on Chinese-made EVs to align with US trade policies. Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced a 30-day public consultation on imposing tariffs and revising EV incentives to protect Canada’s EV sector from China's state-directed overcapacity. This follows G7 pressure as the US and EU plan similar tariffs. Canada aims to prevent trans-shipment of cheap Chinese goods while facing domestic pressure to protect jobs. Environmentalists worry higher tariffs may hinder EV adoption. The Conservative Party supports the move, and it's unclear if tariffs will affect Tesla imports from China.
