Under the recent trade agreement with China, Canada is set to welcome its first batch of China-built cars, specifically 18 Eletres.
These vehicles are entering the market with a tariff rate reduced to 6.1 percent, which was expected to lead to more affordable electric vehicle options.
However, the initial offering consists of SUVs priced at $100,000, raising questions about the affordability that was promised under the deal.
