A national zero-emissions vehicle mandate is likely to use a credit system, but 'how that’s going to work is still up in the air a little bit,' experts and analysts say.
As Ottawa continues to weigh what policy levers to pull to achieve its zero-emission-vehicle sales mandates for 2026, 2030 and 2035, provincial ZEV regulations in British Columbia and Quebec offer a glimpse of how the pan-Canadian mandate is likely to function, industry experts say.
“This includes determining annual requirements, the design of a potential credit system and how to address regional considerations,” she wrote in an email to Automotive News Canada. David Adams, head of the Global Automakers of Canada , said his members — overseas automakers in Canada — expect the federal government will follow suit.Ottawa confirmed that it is investigating a credit system but did not elaborate.Along with progressively increasing adoption of ZEVs, the federal mandate will help bolster ZEV inventories across the country, Breton said. As evidence, he pointed to a steadier supply of ZEVs in B.C. and Quebec.
Instead of guaranteeing supply, he said, the mandate could prompt automakers to begin managing their inventory and “put a constraint on the number of overall vehicles” sold.
