Tariffs and Their Impact on the EV Market

The recent decision by Canada to impose a 100% tariff on electric vehicles (EVs) manufactured in China highlights a significant shift in the global EV market. This move aligns with similar tariffs from the U.S. and European nations, aimed at curbing China’s dominance in EV production, which poses a threat to local manufacturers. The impact of these tariffs will likely drive up consumer prices, making Chinese EVs prohibitively expensive while giving U.S. and European manufacturers a chance to catch up in the competitive landscape. The tariffs serve as a cautionary response to China's heavily subsidized industries in the past, particularly evident in sectors like solar energy.
