Canada Takes a New Approach to Electric Vehicle Adoption: Will Tailpipe Emissions Rules be the Game-Changer? In a surprising move, the Canadian government has scrapped its electric vehicle (EV) mandate, but that doesn't mean it's abandoning its ambitious climate goals. Instead, the government plans to introduce new tailpipe emissions rules that aim to achieve the same level of emissions reductions as a 75-per-cent EV adoption rate by 2035. This shift in strategy suggests that the government is looking for alternative ways to drive down greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, which accounts for a significant portion of Canada's carbon footprint. As the country continues to grapple with the challenges of climate change, the new regulations are expected to have a major impact on the automotive industry and the environment.
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.
