Trump Tariffs Threaten EV Industry: Electric Mobility Canada Sounds the Alarm

Ottawa, March 26, 2025 — Electric Mobility Canada (EMC) is speaking out forcefully against new auto tariffs imposed by President Trump’s administration, warning that they pose serious risks to consumers, workers, and automakers across North America.

According to EMC, these trade barriers threaten to disrupt integrated supply chains, raise costs for families, and undermine decades of economic partnership between Canada and the United States — a relationship that had supported a strong and collaborative electric vehicle (EV) industry until recently.

“The U.S. was once a trusted partner in building a unified EV market. These new tariffs jeopardize innovation, stall investment, and put high-quality Canadian jobs at risk — jobs that cannot simply be relocated south of the border,” EMC stated.

Despite this growing tension, Electric Mobility Canada remains committed to working with unions, industry leaders, and policymakers to develop a robust economic strategy that secures Canada’s role in the future of electric transportation.

For EMC, this moment also presents a critical opportunity to strengthen Canada’s global leadership in EV manufacturing, by fostering innovation, encouraging investment, and supporting long-term job growth in a rapidly evolving market.
