Canada to start 30-day consultation to impose surtax on Chinese electric vehicles

A 30-day consultation on the issue will begin July 2 to counter what Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Monday is a clear effort by Chinese companies to generate a global oversupply. Canada’s move comes weeks after both the United States and the European Commission announced plans to impose higher import tariffs on Chinese EVs this summer.
