flag British Columbia is lowering its 2035 zero-emission vehicle target due to falling sales, affordability issues, and infrastructure gaps.

flag British Columbia is scaling back its 2035 zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales target, acknowledging the 100% goal is no longer realistic due to declining sales, affordability issues, and infrastructure gaps. flag The province paused its EV rebate program in May amid funding concerns, and with federal rebates ending in January 2025, it is shifting focus to expanding charging infrastructure. flag While B.C. flag has over 200,000 ZEVs on the road and remains a top market for EVs, ZEV sales dropped 43% in September compared to last year, with consumers increasingly favoring hybrids. flag The government plans to introduce legislation next year to adjust targets, offer more flexibility for automakers, and boost affordability initiatives. flag Critics say the changes don’t go far enough and call for eliminating mandates and penalties.
