Canada has announced that all new cars must have zero emissions by 2035

Canada is expected to announce this week that all new cars must be zero-emissions by 2035, a senior government source said, as Ottawa is set to introduce new regulations in the latest example of countries around the world to electrify.
Confirming earlier media reports, the source said the new rules will help ensure availability in the Canadian market and reduce wait times for electric vehicle purchases.
The Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Quebec currently have similar sales targets.
According to the source, zero-emission vehicles – which include battery electric, plug-in and hydrogen models – should account for 20 percent of all new car sales by 2026, 60 percent by 2030 and 100 percent by 2035. .
According to the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA), global sales of electric vehicles currently account for about 13 percent of all vehicle sales and are likely to reach 40 to 45 percent of the market by the end of the decade.
  In the US, the Republican-led House of Representatives voted earlier this month to block the Biden administration from pushing ahead with tougher auto emissions regulations that would require 67 percent of new cars to be electrified by 2032.
Market leader Tesla sold 325,291 vehicles in the US in the first half of 2023. General Motors' Chevrolet brand ranked second behind Ford, Hyundai and Rivian with 34,943 units.
