If we are headed to a society that relies on electric vehicles we need to have affordable options in Canada for people to purchase.

I think a big part of the Chinese EV tariff is the security aspect of the conversation. Reports came out this year from cyber security experts that identified kill switches in Chinese made solar panel inverters.
If China is willing to put kill switches into inverters to have the ability to mess with our power grids then I would be very concerned about what they could do with control over a fast moving vehicle in a crowded street.
Taking the money to support Project Arrow and building 100% Canadian EVs that are safe and secure from bad actors around the world would be a bigger priority for me.
