What was Canada’s electric vehicle sales mandate?

The mandate required automakers to ensure at least 20% of new vehicle sales were electric by 2026, rising to 100% by 2035. It was introduced under former prime minister Justin Trudeau and repealed in August 2026 before replacement rules were finalised.

Why did the Canadian government repeal the EV sales mandate?

Prime Minister Mark Carney paused and then scrapped the mandate after pressure from provinces and carmakers, who argued there were better ways to reduce emissions. The government promised stricter tailpipe emission standards as a replacement but has not finalised them.

What are the potential consequences of repealing the mandate?

The government forecasted the repeal could cause $90.3 billion in potential climate-related global damages due to slower EV adoption. The original mandate was expected to reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions by 376 million tonnes over 25 years.

When will the replacement rules be ready?

The government plans to begin consultations on stricter tailpipe emission standards in autumn 2026 and aims to have draft regulations ready by early 2027. Environmental groups expected the rules to be finalised by mid-2026.
