XCR1250 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Canada will ban sales of combustion engine passenger cars by 2035 shaunl via Getty Images Jon Fingas ·Reporter Wed, March 30, 2022, 10:46 AM Canada is joining the ranks of countries and states planning to ban sales of combustion engine cars. Canada has outlined an Emissions Reduction Plan that will require all new passenger car sales to be zero-emissions models by 2035. The government will gradually ramp up pressure on automakers, requiring "at least" 20 percent zero-emissions sales by 2026 and 60 percent by 2030. Officials didn't say whether this applied to a make's product mix or simply the volume of cars sold. The strategy is more forgiving for the workplace — the Canadian government wanted 35 percent of total medium- and heavy-duty vehicle sales to be zero-emissions by 2035, and 100 percent of a "subset" of those machines by 2040. The country is also offering $1.7 billion CAD (about $1.36 billion US) to extend incentives for buying electric cars and other zero-emissions vehicles. The current federal program offers up to a $5,000 CAD ($4,010 US) rebate for EVs, plug-in hybrids and hydrogen fuel cell cars that meet varying price, seat and battery requirements. Some provinces, such as British Columbia and Nova Scotia, offer their own incentives. The broader plan is meant to reduce emissions to 40 to 45 percent below 2005 levels by 2030, and reach net zero by 2050. This includes funds to support renewable energy projects, shrink oil industry emissions and develop "nature-based climate solutions." Canada's car market is small compared to the US. Passenger vehicle sales in Canada reached 1.64 million in 2021, according to estimates, versus an estimated 15 million for the country's southern neighbor. However, the de facto ban on combustion engine cars could further motivate car brands already transitioning to EVs — that's still a lot of potentially lost sales, particularly for a country known for its auto manufacturing plants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p51mstg Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 When they say "net zero", does that take into account the huge amount of pollution and toxicity generated when EV's are manufactured? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted March 30, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 30, 2022 So what happens to the combustion engine cars still on the road in 2035?... I'm just wondering what's going to happen to the value of these cars if they will go up because of scarcity or down because of becoming obsolete.

Roosting Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 So where is the large scale electrical facilities being constructed right now to power this electrical revolution? So if hydro electric is the preferred choice and greenies are preventing any destruction of water shed areas how do you build large scale generation and not destruct water land areas? Large scale generating stations from planning to completion is a 7-10 year process so they should have shovels in the ground as we speak. If hydro is not feasible due to environmental constraints so is nuclear energy. Then it's natural gas but emissions are an issue and coal is a non starter. Then we need to increase capacity to the distribution network that will take 20+ years and billions of $$$. This is a short sighted joke of a wishfull policy with zero real world solutions for any of the work that needs to be done. Unless area 51 is going to release the alien infinite power source they've been hiding. LoL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin_dry Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 By that time who would want a gas powered vehicle? They'd be out of production and obsolete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far the south west and south central US. I’m on my third rig and finally found what works best for me. This one is a keeper. It was a little discouraging at first because of the disappointment with two rigs. Currently back in Wisconsin/Minnesota. I stay on BLM land which either free or very low cost. There’s almost 300 million acres so it’s pretty much endless. Apparently there’s been a massive drop of visitors. Fuel costs? Inflation? Saturation? I’m not quite sure. I gave myself 3 years doing the full time thing. It’s Alright. No complaints other than my poor choice in machinery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium is just a comma in the world of EV's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
