As part of its new auto industry plan, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced on Thursday that Canada will scrap the electric vehicle (EV) sales mandate that would have required all new vehicles sold to be electric by 2035. The mandate, introduced under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2023, had set targets of 20% EV sales for 2026 and 60% by 2030.
