"Canada Shifts Gears: New Emissions Rules to Mimic EV Mandate Impact. In a surprising move, the Canadian government has scrapped its electric vehicle (EV) mandate, but is set to introduce new tailpipe emissions rules that could have a profound impact on the country's environmental goals. The proposed regulations aim to reduce emissions by 75% by 2035, a target previously associated with widespread EV adoption. With this new approach, the government is betting that a combination of stricter fuel efficiency standards and incentives for cleaner vehicles will drive down emissions, raising questions about the effectiveness of different strategies in achieving a greener future."
After scrapping its EV mandate, the Canadian government plans to introduce tailpipe emissions rules that will achieve emissions reductions equivalent to a 75-per-cent EV adoption rate by 2035.
