424. Affordable Chinese EVs Coming to Canada

from Green Energy Futures · host David Dodge

Agricultural tariffs imposed against Canada by China have been slashed, and Chinese EVs are coming to Canada thanks to a new deal struck by Prime Minister Mark Carney with China.The deal will allow 50,000 Chinese EVs into the Canadian market at a low tariff of 6% and more in the future. And at least half of that quota is reserved for EVs that will cost $35,000 or less in a market where there are virtually no EVs for less than $50k.We talk to Adam Thorn of the Pembina Institute about the deal and its implications. ❤️ Green Energy Futures CKUA Radio Podcast🟢 BLOG: GreenEnergyFutures.ca🟢 VIDEO PODCAST - https://www.youtube.com/@greenenergyfutures🟢 AUDIO PODCAST - https://open.spotify.com/show/1IFLWH0wmCBwpEF7BQv7FA?si=7b384d7e63c0493c✅ SUPPORT OUR WORK - Buy Me a Coffee - https://buymeacoffee.com/greenfuturesGreen Energy Futures is a passion project.
