Tesla is currently excluded from electric vehicle incentive programs in Canada as part of local officials' strategy to respond to CEO Elon Musk and the Trump administration's tariffs. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow announced that tax incentives for Tesla vehicles used in ride-hailing services would be cut, urging fleet operators to consider alternatives. This decision is part of an overall initiative aimed at electrifying the city’s taxi fleet to reduce emissions. Chow also mentioned potential reassessment of carbon goals, keeping a focus on reducing the city’s carbon footprint as swiftly as possible.
We are giving incentives for people to migrate into electric cars, except we will stop giving incentives, financial incentives to buy Tesla.
There are other electric cars around, which fleet operators would have to consider.
We would like to reduce [our] carbon footprint as quickly as possible, but that the deadline may be re-evaluated.
The program aims to electrify the city's taxi fleet and lower emissions through 2029.
