In the news: The Government of Canada wants zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) to account for 100 percent of new cars sold in 2040, according to a statement made by Transport Minister Marc Garneau. The targets were announced following a meeting of Canada’s transport ministers in Montreal in January. The Federal Government would like to see ZEVs make up 10 percent of Canadian new vehicle sales by 2025; 30 percent by 2030; and 100 percent by 2040. These targets were communicated without consensus from the provinces or consultation with industry stakeholders.
