That company isn’t operating in Canada, and I’m not suggesting that they need to.
I’m suggesting that the companies who already operate here fill a gap in the market so there isn’t any consumer demand to try and court that unfairly advantaged Chinese company.

The ignorance in this thread is incredible.
The least expensive EVs in Europe are $40,000CAD. $46,000-50,000 with VAT.
Ford Mach E is $46K CAD.
You guys are expecting Ford and GM to go head to head with a company allowed to function $30B in debt backed by the Chinese government.
They are already in arrears with parts suppliers.
