Different link saying they're coming to Canada: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/chinese-evs-canada-timeline-9.7117780

I am a Canadian and excited to see what they'll sell here. I might even buy one if they do well in the winter.

I guess no one reads the article here either:

But with a limit of 49,000 Chinese-made EVs allowed into the Canadian market at a 6.1 per cent tariff rate, the Chinese auto industry will be strategic in choosing which models to export, according to Frise.

"If they can only export a certain number of vehicles per year to Canada, are they going to want to export that number of less expensive, lower profit vehicles, or that number of expensive, higher profit vehicles? They'll go for the higher profit vehicles."

so no, there will not be cheap EVs in Canada, and the Chinese built Teslas and Volvos are already here....WATCHING YOU MASTERBATE.

What part of what I said suggests I didn't read the article I linked?
