BC introduces amendment increasing EV’s manufacturing targets
BRITISH COLUMBIA— The Province has put forward an amendment with plans to increase it’s zero-emmission vehicle (ZEV) targets.
If passed the act will require automakers to meet an annual escalating percentage of new light-duty zero emission vehicles sales and leases, reaching 26% of light-duty vehicle sales by 2026, 90% by 2030 and 100% by 2035, five years ahead of the original target.
With the Zero-Emission Vehicles Act, our government was the first in the world to put an EV sales target into law,
