The Electric Vehicle Availability Standard, a mandate in Canada, outlines a phased approach to increase the presence of "zero-emission vehicles" in the country's new-car sales. The standard sets a target of 20% zero-emission vehicle sales by 2026, followed by a further increase to 60% by 2030. Ultimately, the mandate aims for 100% of new-car sales in Canada to be zero-emission vehicles. This gradual transition is designed to drive the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) over the next decade, with a focus on reducing the reliance on conventional internal-combustion vehicles.
The timeline specified in the standard positions 2035 as the critical year, as it marks the point when sales of traditional internal-combustion vehicles will be eliminated, signaling a complete shift towards zero-emission vehicles. The Electric Vehicle Availability Standard reflects Canada's commitment to promoting sustainable transportation and aligns with global efforts to reduce carbon emissions by encouraging the widespread adoption of electric vehicles in the automotive market.
