Canada launches consultations on the possibility of increasing tariffs on imports of electric vehicles from China. Auto123 has more.
• Canada will undertake a consultation process regarding whether or not to increase tariffs on imports of electric vehicles from China.
This came after U.S. President Joe Biden raised tariffs from 27.5 to 102.5 percent. That move immediately put pressure on the Canadian government. Last week, Ontario Premier Doug Ford urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to do the same. The effect of such a practice is to drive down prices. In the case of electric vehicles, this favours Chinese products, which are highly subsidized by Xi Jinping's government, to the detriment of other manufacturers.
The World Automobile Manufacturers of Canada, which represents the interests of its members to the authorities, expressed its support for the government's announcement. It stated that “Canada’s automotive industry has been a longstanding supporter of fair and rules-based trade policy. It’s important that the Government of Canada provides a level playing field for the sector and we look forward to participating in the consultation process.
