Canada's New Car Regulations: Zero Emissions by 2035
Canada has announced that all new cars sold in the country must be zero-emission by 2035, as part of efforts to reduce fossil fuel emissions. The plan requires auto manufacturers to increase the share of fully electric or plug-in hybrid vehicles sold in the coming years. The Electric Vehicle Availability Standard will gradually increase the percentage of zero-emission vehicles sold, reaching 100% by 2035. Automakers failing to meet the targets can buy credits from other manufacturers or invest in charging infrastructure. The move aims to catch up with European nations and the US in promoting electric vehicle sales, but Canada currently lags behind its targets.
