Canada has spent $1bn so far to make EVs more affordable and charging infrastructure more accessible. This led to a coast-to-coast network of fast chargers and installations in more remote areas. The government also provides incentives of up to $5,000 to help EV buyers plus full tax write-offs for businesses purchasing them.

Canada has a mandatory target of full zero-emission light-duty vehicle sales by 2035.
