Since U.S. President Joe Biden announced 100-percent tariffs on electric vehicles from China, there have been calls for similar measures from other governments.
Ford said that “artificially cheap” models that benefit from Chinese government subsidies are dangerous for Ontario's auto industry as it seeks to develop an electric sector. Tens of billions of dollars in investments have been announced for Ontario by various automakers and battery manufacturers. He later added that “Doug Ford and I — the Ontario government and the government of Canada — have worked closely together over the past years to build one of the strongest electric vehicle manufacturing ecosystems in the world here in Canada.”

At present, Canada charges 6 percent on those products, in addition to granting a $5,000 rebate on the purchase of this type of vehicle, provided its base price is less than $55,000 or $65,000, depending on the category.
