There's been a lot of hype around EVs made in China lately the BYD Seagull, a Chinese-made 4-door EV with a range comparable to the most affordable electric vehicles you can buy in Canada right now has a price tag of just $13,000 The cheapest 2025 EV available in Canada will cost you roughly $27 000 more than the BYD Seagull. This could be a major problem for North American automakers. Back in May American President Joe Biden announced a 100% tariff on EVs made in China.Now the Canadian Government is considering a tariff of their own while still trying to stay on track with their target of 100% zero emission vehicle sales by 2035. Would you buy a Chinese-made EV?
