It is reported that the Canadian government is preparing to introduce new regulations that will require all new cars sold in the country to be zero-emission by the year 2035.

Citing statements from senior government officials, Local Canadian media reports that the Canadian government is set to announce the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard in the coming days. The aim of this regulation is to gradually phase out the sale of new ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles.

The reports also state that the new regulations will mandate that zero-emission vehicles, including battery electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, must constitute 20% of all new car sales by 2026, 60% by 2030, and reach 100% by 2035.
