Canada Hits Chinese EVs With Huge Tariffs
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Canada will impose a 100% tariff on the import of Chinese electric vehicles, as well as a 25% tariff on imported steel and aluminum from China.
This move follows a 30-day public consultation on Chinese EVs and related products, aligning Canada's actions with those of the United States and the European Union.
Trudeau emphasized the tariffs are part of a broader effort to ensure China plays by the same rules as other economies. He noted Canada is acting in coordination with other global economies to address concerns over Chinese trade practices.
Canada's push to strengthen its role in the global electric vehicle supply chain has been gaining momentum, with the country securing deals worth billions of dollars to attract automakers. This move also responds to domestic pressure to counter China’s influence in the sector. The U.S. is expected to announce its final plans for increased tariffs on Chinese products this week, following President Joe Biden's earlier announcements.

- Arthur Dailey $42k USD??????? For a Camry? What is the world coming to? This vehicle still has a front end/air dam/lack of road clearance that would make it too difficult to drive in heavy snow conditions. It certainly won't be going off road. So what is the AWD for? If a buyer insists on an AWD Toyota, I would suggest a Corolla Cross instead of this.
