At EcoDrive Nova Scotia, we’re thrilled to see the Canadian government take bold steps to level the playing field with the recently announced tariffs on imports from countries without free trade agreements. These tariffs, targeting sectors like electric vehicles (EVs), steel, aluminum, and batteries, are designed to protect Canadian workers and businesses from unfair competition—especially from non-market economies such as China, which have dominated the global market with state-subsidized products.
This is a win for Canadian businesses like ours, committed to building local and sustainable infrastructure. By choosing to source high-quality Canadian parts and materials, we are ensuring that the benefits of our rural EV infrastructure project go directly to local suppliers and workers. No longer will cheap imports undermine our efforts. These new tariffs make it clear: Canada is prioritizing local innovation and clean energy leadership.
At EcoDrive Nova Scotia, we are already on the right path. Our mission to electrify rural areas aligns with the government’s vision for a cleaner, more sustainable future, and we want to ensure that Canadian and local businesses thrive in this journey. We believe in the power of local sourcing, and these tariffs reinforce the importance of building Canadian.
Together, we can make sure that the EV revolution happens on Canadian soil—and that we do it the right way.
