• 加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多（Justin Trudeau）表示，将采取措施保护当地汽车业。
• 美国将中国电动汽车的关税提高了两倍，而欧洲则提高了38.1%。
• 去年，中国向加拿大出口了价值22亿加元的电动汽车。

加拿大政府可以效仿美国和欧盟，对中国制造的电动汽车征收新关税，以保护当地产业和就业。

今年5月，拜登政府宣布对中国制造的电动汽车的关税将提高到100%，而本月早些时候，欧盟透露，对中国电动汽车的关税将在现有10%关税的基础上增加38.1%。上周，安大略省省长道格·福特（Doug Ford）恳求加拿大总理贾斯汀·特鲁多（Justin Trudeau）至少与美国的关税相匹配，声称“除非我们迅速采取行动，否则我们将危及安大略省和加拿大的就业机会。

特鲁多承认，他正在关注其他国家的行动，并在最近在意大利举行的七国集团领导人会议上讨论了中国制造的电动汽车。然而，目前还没有正式行动，加拿大需要谨慎行事，否则可能会面临中国的报复措施。

越来越多的中国制造的电动汽车在加拿大销售。2022 年，这些车辆的总价值为 22 亿加元（16 亿美元），比 2022 年的不到 1 亿加元（7300 万美元）大幅飙升。这一增长的主要贡献者是特斯拉在加拿大销售了更多的中国制造的电动汽车。消息人士告诉彭博社，特斯拉不是加拿大的主要关注点。

加拿大财政部长克里斯蒂亚·弗里兰（Chrystia Freeland）的发言人表示，该国正在“积极考虑采取下一步措施来应对中国的供应过剩”，并补充说，“中国有一项有意的、由国家指导的产能过剩政策，[并]保护加拿大的就业、制造业和我们的自由贸易关系至关重要。https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Canada-1024x576.jpg

来自加拿大的汽车集团也呼吁特鲁多政府征收关税。他们说，鉴于美国 - 墨西哥 - 加拿大自由贸易协定正在接受审查，该国不能在这件事上越位。

在谈到这个问题时，特鲁多说：“我们将非常仔细地研究需要采取哪些措施来确保加拿大汽车业和加拿大消费者在未来几年得到很好的支持。https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/2023-Zeekr-X-2-1024x576.jpg

Canada May Also Slap Chinese EVs With New Tariffs

The premier of Ontario says that the country is risking jobs if it doesn't enforce new tariffs

• Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says steps will be taken to protect the local auto industry.
• The U.S. has quadrupled tariffs on Chinese EVs, while Europe has increased them by up to 38.1%.
• CA$2.2 billion worth of EVs were exported from China to Canada last year.

The Canadian government could follow the lead of the U.S. and the European Union in slapping Chinese-built electric vehicles with new tariffs, in a bid to protect local industries and jobs.

In May, the Biden administration announced tariffs on Chinese-made EVs would swell to 100% while earlier this month, the European Union revealed levies on Chinese EVs would be increased by as much as 38.1% on top of the existing 10% tariff. Last week, Ontario Premier Doug Ford pleaded with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to at least match U.S. tariffs, claiming that “unless we act fast, we risk Ontario and Canadian jobs.”

Trudeau has acknowledged that he is monitoring the actions of other countries and has had discussions about EVs made in China during the recent Group of Seven leaders meeting in Italy. However, no official moves have been made yet, and Canada needs to proceed cautiously, or it may face retaliatory measures from China.

A growing number of EVs manufactured in China are being sold in Canada. In 2022, these vehicles tallied CA$2.2 billion ($1.6 billion), a huge spike from less than CA$100 million ($73 million) in 2022. The main contributor to this increase was Tesla selling more of its Chinese-made EVs in Canada. Sources tell Bloomberg that Tesla isn’t Canada’s main concern.

According to a spokesperson for Canadian Finance Ministery Chrystia Freeland, the country is “actively considering next steps to counter Chinese oversupply,” adding that “China has an intentional, state-directed policy of overcapacity [and] protecting Canadian jobs, manufacturing, and our free trade relationships is essential.”

Auto groups from Canada are also calling on the Trudeau government to impose tariffs. They say the country can’t be offside with the U.S. on the matter, given that the United States-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement is up for review.

While speaking on the issue, Trudeau said, “We will look very carefully at what steps need to be taken to ensure that the Canadian auto industry and indeed Canadian consumers are well supported for years to come.”
