A group of nearly 50 municipal leaders in Ontario is calling on Ottawa to scrap its electric vehicle (EV) sales mandate, warning of “irreversible damage” to the auto industry.
The Ontario Auto Mayors group, consisting of 48 mayors from Ontario cities and towns, requested the “immediate repeal” of the federal government’s EV sales targets mandate, in a July 24 letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney.
