Canada will impose a 100% surtax on nearly all Chinese-made electric vehicles, including hybrids, trucks, and buses, to protect its auto industry. Announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the measure is part of broader efforts to counter China’s perceived unfair trade practices. The surtax aligns with US tariffs and includes additional levies on Chinese steel and aluminum. While the auto industry supports these protections, critics argue they could escalate trade tensions and delay the adoption of affordable EVs. The move is seen as a temporary measure to allow Canada's EV sector to develop.
