Canada’s electric vehicle (EV) market is experiencing significant growth in both production and consumption. Here’s a summary:
Production:
* While Canada doesn’t have a large number of domestic EV manufacturers compared to other countries, it is making strides in this area. Several companies are investing in EV production and battery manufacturing facilities in Canada.
* The Canadian government is actively promoting the development of the EV industry through various incentives and investments. This is attracting both established automakers and new players to set up production facilities in the country.
* Canada is also rich in resources needed for battery production, such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt. This gives the country a competitive advantage in the EV market.
Consumption:
* EV sales in Canada have been steadily increasing in recent years. In 2023, zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) accounted for 11.7% of new light-duty vehicle sales, a significant jump from previous years.
* Several factors are driving this increase in EV adoption, including government incentives, growing awareness of environmental issues, and the increasing availability of EV models.
* British Columbia and Quebec are leading the way in EV adoption, with higher market shares compared to other provinces.
Overall, the Canadian EV market is dynamic and growing rapidly. With increasing production capacity and strong consumer demand, EVs are expected to play a significant role in Canada’s transportation sector in the coming years.

Carbon Tax

In Canada we have the advantage of a tax tied to a tangible commodity. The carbon tax no matter how pie in the sky it is, it’s still based on a tanagable.

Fraud not withstanding risk is better underwritten by this vehicle. So, the bubble of hard assets (oil reserves) that we are beginning to enjoy is timely for we all. Don’t waste this moment… Use it to transform ideas to near tangibles that will endure to our children’s children.
