Canada Imposes 100% Tariff on Chinese-Made Electric Vehicles

Tesla's request for tariff reduction rejected as Canada aligns with US trade policies to counter China's industrial strategies.

The new tariffs, effective October 1, apply to all Chinese-made EVs, including those from Tesla.
Tesla had sought a lower tariff similar to the 9% rate granted by the European Union.
Canada's decision follows the US, which announced similar tariffs aimed at China's state-directed industrial policies.
China has criticized the move, calling it trade protectionism and a violation of WTO rules.
Industry experts are divided on the impact, with some predicting minimal price changes while others foresee significant cost increases.
