In 2022 the European Union, Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. state of California approved regulations banning the sale of new gasoline-powered cars and trucks by 2035. Plug-in hybrids, full electrics and hydrogen cell vehicles would all count toward the zero-emission targets, though auto makers will only be able to use plug-in hybrids to meet 20% of the overall requirement. The regulation will impact only new-vehicle sales and affects only manufacturers, not dealerships. Traditional internal-combustion vehicles will still be legal to own and drive after 2035, and new models can still be sold until 2035. Volkswagen and Toyota have said they aim to sell only zero-emission cars in Europe by that time.

Unique answers from Canada users whose views extended beyond the provided choices.
@9QZCYDN2wks2W
I provide the government should help with some funding but ultimately provide subsidies to private companies that compete to build the best network instead of the majority of building being done by the government. However pass laws ensuring that all kinds of electric vehicles can use all kinds of charging stations
@9MZ47BD 2mos2MO
Yes, and use the income from selling electricity at the stations to maintain roads and infrastructure
@9MKYHZ72mos2MO
Yes and start a crown corporation similar to Petro-Canada for electric charging in order to increase competitiveness
@9KC6XPW5mos5MO
Yes, if they use renewable energy sources BUT electric vehicles are NOT the answer, they create a whole new slew of environmental problems and tax the planet.
@9JZ4BJ35mos5MO
Expanding charging infrastructure can support the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, contributing to environmental goals. Opponents may question the financial feasibility and argue for private sector involvement. It's akin to discussing whether the government should provide facilities that benefit the community.
@9JVRZ2Z6mos6MO
Yes if they use renewable energy sources. Should still be able to purchase gasoline powered vehicles as there is no infrastructure to across Canada. Also, the cold weather decreases battery power. Need to be able to charge your car with a regular 3 prong plug or ensure each house is equipped to charge and electric vehicle.
