In 2022 the European Union, Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. state of California approved regulations banning the sale of new gasoline-powered cars and trucks by 2035. Plug-in hybrids, full electrics and hydrogen cell vehicles would all count toward the zero-emission targets, though auto makers will only be able to use plug-in hybrids to meet 20% of the overall requirement. The regulation will impact only new-vehicle sales and affects only manufacturers, not dealerships. Traditional internal-combustion vehicles will still be legal to own and drive after 2035, and new models can still be sold until 2035. Volkswagen and Toyota have said they aim to sell only zero-emission cars in Europe by that time.

Don't be morons, Tesla has proven they have the best network, subsidize them so they can build more in Canada. And if you have to say no, at least make them NACS.
@9MKYHZ711mos11MO
Yes and start a crown corporation similar to Petro-Canada for electric charging in order to increase competitiveness
@9KC6XPW1yr1Y
Yes, if they use renewable energy sources BUT electric vehicles are NOT the answer, they create a whole new slew of environmental problems and tax the planet.
@9F85KSF2yrs2Y
the raw materials for making the car have to be mined and the process of mining creates a lot of greenhouse gases. Then the raw materials have to be refined before they can be used which again emits more greenhouse gas so no we should not.
@9F5KMPV2yrs2Y
Invest in charging stations for electric videos. Make electric videos more affordable.
@9BVK4972yrs2Y
NO EV will die as no replacement for lithium is anywhere. EV is not a viable plan moving forward past 10 years. The amount of infrastructure to power an electric grid is impossible by todays economic and industrial means. We would need to increase production 5 times our current rate to meet any demands this is a mathematical impossibility
@99449XL2yrs2Y
Yes, only for the owners of electric vehicles.
@992PZ5B2yrs2Y
Maybe when electric vehicles are of a larger capacity
Yes, on the condition that these charging stations run on 100% renewable energy. Running a charging station by burning fuel is ironic, and absolutely counterproductive
@98VPKRTNew Democratic2yrs2Y
Yes but there needs to be an increased reliance on public transport. The issue is with our over reliance on individual vehicle ownership and the infrastructure that requires.
@98TLB6M2yrs2Y
No, not until we build the infrastructure needed.
