Canada targets Tesla with tariffs and policy changes
Tesla has raised concerns about being targeted by retaliatory tariffs due to the ongoing trade war initiated by former President Trump. The company sent a letter to U.S. trade officials highlighting potential negative impacts on its operations. In a recent development, British Columbia has excluded Tesla products from its electric vehicle charging rebate program in response to U.S. tariffs. The province is also considering removing Tesla from its electric vehicle purchase rebate program. Additionally, Canadian NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh has proposed implementing a 100% tariff on Tesla vehicles imported from the U.S. These actions indicate a shift in Canada’s trade stance towards Tesla amid the trade tensions.
