I would have assumed they would specify the quotas per price range, maybe they did. We might see cheap ones yet. Probably not what I want, but that was unlikely anyway.
need for quota to grow, but overall, its better for Canadians to have cheaper Asian shoes, than rely on US owned industry that wants subsidies while cutting production here. Even if Canada gets a labour cut, which is in extreme doubt, US plan is to isolate NA market to extortionist uncompetitive oligopoly.
These are so-called ‘hyper SUVs’ according to Lotus and the bottom tier starts around $110k. We don’t need more high end expensive EVs in Canada.
Looking forward to future batches with much more reasonably priced models.
For sure, I’d love to see their lower end models for like 20k or less.
I knew the quota system would limit to high end cars, but was hoping for $80k models.
I was hoping for $20k models.

The deal requires 10% to be under 35k by 2027 and 50% under 35k by 2030.
nice
