Summary
Quebec has passed a law banning the sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2035 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Starting in 2034, advertising gas-powered vehicles of the 2035 model year or later will be prohibited, and by the end of 2035, selling or leasing new gas-powered vehicles will be banned.
Exceptions include emergency, rental, and off-road vehicles, while used gas-powered cars can still be resold and driven.
Quebec aims for 2 million EVs on its roads by 2030, though challenges remain as EV rebates phase out starting in 2025.
Nothing and that’s the point: while the US will be stuck with Elon’s Teslas, Canadians will get to use cheap and affordable Chinese EVs that actually compete with ICE cars in pricing and performance.
