Canadians buy 2M vehicles a year. This deal only allows in 50,000.

When Xpeng wanted to sell in EU, they had to assemble the cars in Austria with Canada's Magna.

So why is Magna making Chinese EVs in Austria, but not in Canada?

50000 on year one. More later

According to Statistics Canada, 264,000 EV's were sold in 2024.

50,000 of those potentially being Chinese EVs is not a small percentage. That is a significant chunk of our yearly EV sales.

Assembled in Australis is like saying your ikea furniture was manufactured in your living room.
