Canada's EV Market Was Already in Trouble. Tariffs Made It Worse, Ontario Workers Say
- General Motors announced layoffs of 600 workers and idled its CAMI plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, due to weak demand for electric vans in 2025.
- This event follows U.S. tariffs imposing a 25 per cent duty on Canadian-made vehicles and a broader market slowdown impacting electric vehicle production plans.
- The CAMI plant, employing 1,200 workers, had once aimed to produce 50,000 electric delivery vans annually by 2025, but production slowed amid postponements by Honda, Stellantis, and Ford.
- Zero-Emissions vehicles dropped from 16.5% of Canadian new vehicle sales in late 2024 to 8.7% in early 2025, while only 28% of surveyed consumers are likely to consider EVs next, reflecting market hesitancy.
- Industry representatives urge increased domestic vehicle production and stronger charging infrastructure investment to offset tariffs and encourage EV adoption amid ongoing uncertainty.
