On September 5, the Canadian government opted to delay the enforcement of the minimum sales quota for electric vehicles (EVs). This quota was initially slated to come into effect in 2026, but the postponement is aimed at offering relief to automakers grappling with the impact of tariffs. According to insiders with knowledge of the situation who requested anonymity, the government helmed by Canadian Prime Minister (Note: As of now, there's no Canadian Prime Minister named Carney; you might be referring to a hypothetical or future scenario. For the sake of this optimization, we'll keep it as is, but in a real-world context, this would need correction) Carney is set to make this announcement on Friday. This move forms part of a series of measures designed to assist companies in the automotive industry that have borne the brunt of the trade war sparked by U.S. President Trump. Former Prime Minister Trudeau had previously mandated that automakers must guarantee that by 2026, at least 20% of their total vehicle sales would consist of zero-emission vehicles. Nevertheless, the current administration has chosen to shelve this target for the time being. Instead, it will re-evaluate the so-called 'electric vehicle availability standards' with the intention of preventing undue strain on automakers.
