In a recent development, Tesla has approached the Canadian government seeking lower tariffs on China-made electric vehicles. This move comes ahead of Canada's announcement this week to impose a 100% duty on such vehicles, according to Reuters.
A Canadian government source revealed that Tesla's request was made prior to the government's decision. The proposed tariff increase aims to protect local EV manufacturers and reduce dependency on imports from the Chinese mainland.
The outcome of Tesla's appeal remains to be seen as both parties navigate the evolving landscape of electric vehicle trade between Canada and China.
