In May 2024, US President Joe Biden’s administration introduced tariffs on electric vehicles (EVs) imported from China to the United States. The policy was a response to the growing threat of low-cost Chinese EVs flooding the US market, which, while having the potential to drive EV prices down, was also seen as a threat to the competitiveness of American auto manufacturers. The EV tariffs represented a significant turning point in international trade policy with far-reaching economic and political implications. These tariffs created a complex policy challenge for Canada, with consequences for Canada’s climate goals, automotive sector, and broader economic interests. As Canada’s automotive sector was deeply intertwined with the US market, these tariffs presented a key decision point. The Canadian government had to decide how to respond: should it align with the US tariffs to protect its domestic manufacturing base, or should it pursue a more independent strategy that prioritized climate goals and consumer access to affordable EVs?
