Chinese EVs Are Coming To Canada – But Will You See Them In The US?
Summary
Canada's deal with China is slated to bring up to 49,000 EVs into Canada in 2026 at a reduced tariff rate. In fact, 2,910 Chinese EVs already arrived in May. Consumers in North America have had their eyes on Chinese electric vehicles for a while now. After all, Chinese EVs are much cheaper than American ones. They're also becoming insanely convenient; China's new sodium-ion EV battery can fully charge in just 11 minutes. However, Chinese vehicles are effectively banned in the United States due to a series of policies that outlaw the nation's software and hardware, as well as prohibitively high tariffs on the actual vehicles. North of the border, though, is a different story because China is sending its EVs to Canada.
