China's BYD Eyes Canadian EV Market Amid Tariff Discussions

BYD prepares to expand its North American presence, facing potential Canadian tariffs similar to those in the US and EU.

BYD has filed regulatory documents in Canada, signaling its intent to sell electric vehicles there.
The company has engaged with Canadian dealers about setting up local dealerships.
Canada is considering imposing tariffs on Chinese EVs, following US and EU policies.
BYD already has a presence in North America through Mexico and its electric buses in the US.
The expansion into Canada could serve as a strategic move to circumvent US tariffs.
