Bad idea. China isn’t better than the US, and their EVs are a safety and security risk in and of themselves.
I can imagine Canada being in a position to collaborate with friendly countries to develop a safe, secure and open alternative to Tesla and “CCP-mobiles”. If that becomes a reality, everyone benefits.
I dont think anyone is advocating for lowering auto safety standards to allow Chinese EVs on roads. Lets be realistic in acknowledging that Chinese made vehicles are already in use in many parts of the world and provide comparable security and privacy standards as their American counterparts (viz. None).
With enough oversight, I can buy the safety part. Without rigid oversight, you may end up with self-igniting batteries. When it comes to security, America is a low bar.
There is also an ethical component to the critique of Chinese goods in general, which concerns the CCPs actions and policies. Let’s not ignore that.
My point was, China is not better than the US. I’m sure Canada can do better than that, if they cooperate with other countries.
Yeah, it’s an awful idea. The Chinese EVs constantly break down. There’s no shortage of EVs From Europe. Also, considering Canada already makes all of the parts, it would be nice to see them create their own car manufacturers.
