As Canada’s zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) targets loom, the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association (CVMA), representing GM, Ford, and Stellantis, warns that EV charging infrastructure is critically lagging.

The group’s report suggests Canada needs 100 new public chargers daily over 11 years.

Despite government-backed chargers, private investment lags, creating a barrier to meeting ambitious ZEV goals.
