Renault's local distributor, AZRA Canada, will sell the EV from next summer.

AZRA is expected to add low volume sales of the all-electric Kangoo van later. Local media reports have suggested around 1,000 units over two years will be allowed in under special 'compliance waiver' dispensation to allow Renault to test a former market with its latest products.
