According to the source, Canada has agreed to allow capped volumes of Chinese-built EVs at sharply reduced tariffs, while the United States maintains 100% duties and connected-vehicle technology restrictions. Divergent consumer sentiment and political reactions raise risks of trade spillovers, regulatory fragmentation, and intensified price competition in the Canadian EV market.
The source indicates the US is sustaining a 125% tariff barrier and connected-vehicle restrictions on Chinese EVs, while Canada has cut tariffs to 6.1% under a January 2026 trade deal with import quotas and affordability conditions. The EU is reportedly considering tariff reductions, with cybersecurity and data concerns emerging as a key determinant of market access beyond tariffs.
In 2024, the US and EU increased trade barriers on Chinese electric vehicles, while Canada shifted to a lower-tariff, quota-based access model tied to agricultural concessions and prospective joint-venture investment. The divergence may reshape pricing, adoption rates, and supply-chain strategies across North America and Europe.
