The Canadian government is branching out into standup comedy.
New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) in China
- Thread starter supercat
- Start date
You know what it worse?
This press release says Canada is #1 in EV supply chain potential!
#1 in POTENTIAL! This is Jai Canada nonsense
Making shit no one can afford would be a step up, right now they are making nothing at all in Canada!
What would make more sense is instead of a dog-tax, maybe just set a price floor for the Chinese EVs based on the current market rates of similar vehicles. This way, the competition is literally fair.
However, this would never happen because it actually makes sense. The government never does anything that is logical. Instead you have Dear Deputy Leader putting out such press releases that rival Kim Jong Il's press releases. It's just missing the part where Freeland drains 5 holes in one in a round of golf.
Taking lessons from Ukraine I see.
Lay with dogs, wake up with fleas.

Their American masters demanded. They delivered. Do these tarrifs affect second hand purchases?
I doubt Chinese cars can get permits
My point is that you don't know why they are doing it and it's best that you don't act like you do.
BYD will lower pricing when they are ready to do so. At this point, they are still building up their export network and they can only export so much given the transport capacity they have and the number of dealers they have.
It's also very important to consider that BYD will lower price once it starts operating local plant. That significantly reduces transportation issue, tariffs and the rest. We've seen that recently they were able to do so in Thailand.
Other things to consider is that there are significant upgrades coming to Seal, Sea Lion and what not. There is no reason to start price war in European countries when the product itself is still undergoing significant changes. You don't want to sell too many of them and then develop a bad reputation. As such, consider the current sales to be learning about European market. Things don't need to be rushed.
Tarrifs only apply to incoming goods, not second hand sales. However, what second hand sales? No Chinese cars have been imported.
BYD e6 was permitted in Canada.
Chinese cars are no different from any other car. As long as you do all the certifications, you can sell. It would take a special order from the Prime Minister to stop it. If a Chinese company was willing to invest all this time and money to build dealerships, hire a workforce to staff dealerships, office, support staff, service centres, etc. you don't think that the permit would go through?
