Regulations Amending the Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations will be published on December 20, 2023, in the Canada Gazette, Part II.
Regulations Amending the Passenger Automobile and Light Truck Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations will be published on December 20, 2023, in the Canada Gazette, Part II.
Announced in draft form on December 21, 2022, the Standard applies to light-duty vehicles (passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks). These vehicles account for about half of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, while the transportation sector overall accounts for about 25 percent of Canada’s overall greenhouse gas emissions.
Under the new Electric Vehicle Availability Standard, auto manufacturers and importers must meet annual zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) regulated sales targets. The targets begin for the 2026 model year, with a requirement that at least 20 percent of new light-duty vehicles offered for sale in that year be ZEVs. The requirements increase annually to 60 percent by 2030 and 100 percent for 2035.
The regulations apply to all companies that manufacture new passenger cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks in Canada, or import those vehicles into Canada for the purpose of selling them to the first retail purchaser. Manufacturers and importers have the option to exclude emergency vehicles. All companies have the same targets.
The regulations define ZEVs as battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) fueled only with electricity; fuel-cell vehicles (FCVs) that operate using hydrogen; and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) that can run exclusively on electricity for a specified minimum distance before they transition to operating as hybrid vehicles, using both liquid fuels and electricity.
An increasing number of US states are adopting similar ZEV regulations. California requires that 100 percent of new vehicles be ZEVs by 2035, and 10 other states have adopted similar standards beginning in 2026 or 2027: Colorado, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington. Additional states have adopted California’s current ZEV regulations, and altogether over 40 percent of the North American vehicle market could have similar ZEV requirements by 2027.
Canada’s regulations are similar in structure to those of California and to the other US states in their definition of ZEVs, and in giving partial or full credit to plug-in-hybrids (PHEVs), depending on their electric-only range.
The regulations will help ensure that the supply of ZEVs being sold in Canada keeps up with consumer demand. It will increase the supply of new and used ZEVs, enhance choice, and reduce wait times. Canada’s approach provides a ramp-up period of more than a decade. Most industry projections show that by the end of the decade or early 2030s, the purchase prices of gas-powered and electric cars will be comparable. This would mean that more consumers would start seeing overall savings due to lower charging and maintenance costs as soon as they drive a new vehicle off the lot.
In the meantime, consumer purchases of ZEVs will be supported by $2 billion invested by the Government of Canada in the Incentive for Zero Emissions Vehicle Program (iZEV). This program offers consumers up to $5,000 in new electric vehicle purchase incentives. The iZEV program combined with available provincial/territorial incentives brings the purchase price of some new ZEVs within the purchase price range of comparable gas and diesel vehicles.
ZEVs have much lower operating and maintenance costs than gas and diesel vehicles, making their total cost of ownership lower than comparable gas-powered vehicles, even with the current purchase price differences. The total cost of ownership of ZEVs is lower than their gas counterparts because of their significantly smaller fueling and maintenance costs. ZEVs have fewer moving parts than other vehicles, do not require oil changes or engine tune-ups, and do not contain spark plugs or engine air filters that require replacement. The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) estimates that the average electric vehicle owner would save 40 to 50 percent in maintenance costs compared to a gas-powered vehicle.
The CAA also estimates that the average Canadian spends close to $3,000 dollars per year on gas, whereas the annual cost of electricity to power an average electric vehicle is only a few hundred dollars. For example, a ZEV sedan with a 400-kilometre range costs about $10 to charge with a home charger, while the fuel for a comparable gas vehicle costs around $50 to travel the same 400 kilometres. In total, it is estimated that Canadians will save about $36.7 billion in energy costs between now and 2050 as a result of the regulations.
According to experts, when federal and provincial purchase incentives are combined with the reduced costs of vehicle charging and maintenance, many ZEVs hit a break-even point with comparable gas-powered vehicles within a few years, and some in under a year. After 10 years, the overall savings can be significant. One study from Clean Energy Canada compared the total cost of ownership of a small electric hatchback vehicle costing $39,000, and a comparable gasoline model costing $30,000. The total cost of ownership for the gasoline vehicle was estimated to be over $80,000, versus less than $49,000 for the electric vehicle.
The regulations will be phased-in over the next 12 years. New light-duty gasoline or diesel-fueled vehicles will still be available after 2026. Gasoline and diesel-fueled vehicles can still be driven after 2035 and can be bought or sold as used vehicles. However, manufacturers have made it clear that the transition to electric vehicles is now firmly underway. Many have set their own EV sales targets that align closely with the federal targets.
Moving towards ZEVs will have significant beneficial health impacts from the reduction of harmful air pollution. Almost half of Canadians live near high-traffic roads, and about half of schools and long-term care facilities are also located near high-traffic roads. Children, the elderly, individuals with underlying health conditions, and people living in high-exposure areas are all impacted by the adverse effects of air pollution, which can include childhood asthma and leukemia, as well as greater risk of lung cancer in adults.
Health Canada analysis shows that the air pollution from on-road vehicles in Canada contribute to an estimated 1,200 premature deaths and millions of cases of non-fatal health outcomes annually, with a total estimated economic cost of $9.5 billion each year. The emissions from light-duty vehicles contribute a little over a third of those health impacts. By 2050, the regulations are projected to reduce various air pollutant emissions from light-duty vehicles, including reducing fine particular matter (PM2.5) by 36 percent, nitrogen oxide (NOx) by 50 percent, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by 61 percent, and carbon monoxide (CO) by 68 percent.
In Canada, efforts to build more charging infrastructure are accelerating, and technologies are improving and being standardized. Other countries that are moving toward an EV future are in similar positions.
The regulated ZEV targets will spur private sector investment in charging infrastructure and enable utilities to plan for the power generation and transmission to provide charging.
There are over 25,000 public EV chargers in Canada. The Government of Canada has allocated over $1.2 billion to support the deployment of more charging stations across the country. This support is provided through the Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP), Canada Infrastructure Bank’s Charging and Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure Initiative, and the Electric Vehicle and Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Deployment Initiative.
As of this month, the Government had committed funds for the installation of over 43,000 chargers across the country, with more than over 10,000 built and another 30,000 to be built, more than doubling the existing number of public charging stations. Federal funding is being complemented by the work of provinces, territories, municipalities, and the private sector to continue the momentum to build Canada's network.
Recent announcements from Quebec ($514 million to add over 116,000 public chargers), British Columbia ($26 million), and Ontario ($91 million) will help boost the number of chargers in those provinces. In addition, this past summer seven global auto manufacturers announced that they are joining forces to build a new “high-powered” electric vehicle charger network of at least 30,000 direct current (DC) fast chargers across North America, starting next year.
A majority of manufacturers have announced that they will be transitioning to the North American Charging Standard (NACS) port, which will increase charging access for consumers and avoid having to purchase costly adaptors. Over the next few years, this will enable most, if not all, models to use the same public chargers. In addition, standards being set by Measurement Canada will allow ZEV owners to pay for the amount of electricity they use, rather than the time they are hooked up to the chargers.
The Government of Canada has heard the concerns from some Canadians living in rural and northern communities that may currently have less access to public charging infrastructure, as well as concerns expressed regarding the performance of batteries in cold weather.
Electric vehicles can be driven in very cold weather. ZEVs are common in countries with cold winters like Norway, where close to 90 percent of new car sales are ZEVs. Manufacturers are also learning what works in these environments to drive further advancements in technology.
The regulations will contribute to Canada’s climate change goals by preventing 362 megatonnes of cumulative greenhouse gas emissions. The monetized benefits of reducing these greenhouse gas emissions are estimated to be about $96 billion. Even accounting for the higher purchase price of many ZEVs in 2023, these greenhouse gas benefits, together wit...
The Government of Canada is confident that the country’s evolving electricity grid will be able to support the large increase in electric vehicles. ZEVs are projected to account for about five percent of total electricity demand in Canada in 2035, and 9.5 percent in 2050.
