for countries that never had a major economic link in the auto chain, currently getting chinese EVs are a no brainer.
there are reports of un-used cars shipped worldwide for ~70% off listpices (which means <80% of those available in america) after mfg sales to 3rd-party brokers (so that subsidies based on mfg production, not profits, can be received from the local+national government).
however, this will last only ~2 years as the subsidies vanish and dozens of chinese car companies get wiped out. with the survivors, prices may be raised to barely offset tariffs. and as an owner, what does one do about repairs and parts?
canada is in a tricky situation. they have an existing history , infrastructure, and pieces of nafta still in play. although 3 years of MAGA nonsense is left, something as simple as trump lifting the 'pay per transit' (e.g., fair tariff on final shipment, not intermediates) would change the vibe. trump may even realize (or get a bribe) from the AMERICAN car companies he is hurting.
