Subject Matter Details

Grant, Contribution or Other Financial Benefit, Policies or Program

• Tesla will encourage government departments and their agencies to establish or further enhance policies and programs that support the deployment of electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Canada. In particular, for light duty vehicle charging in multi-unit residential properties, in dense urban settings, along remote corridors and at federal properties, including national parks. Heavy-duty freight electrification and supporting infrastructure in the logistics sector will also be a focus. Furthermore, Tesla will apply, from time to time, for infrastructure funding where eligible, through competitive merit-based funding application processes as they are issued by Natural Resources Canada.

Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution, Policies or Program, Regulation

• Legislation and regulation that supports and further encourages coordination among provinces in support of autonomous vehicle deployment and regulation.

Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution, Regulation

• Provide input through consultations and meetings to inform the design of Canada's announced Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) supply-side regulation, and associated legislation if any, with an emphasis on ensuring that the regulatory design is sufficiently stringent and appropriate to achieve Canada's ZEV adoption targets while maintaining a focus on greenhouse gas and local air pollution reduction and limiting compliance flexibilities that could lead to otherwise higher emissions. Provide input on the interface and appropriate design for such a regulation relative to Canada's existing vehicle emission standards.

Policies or Program, Regulation

• Engage Measurement Canada and other relevant departments in discussions about charging station metrology and fair billing practices with the intention of enabling EV charging station billing on an energy (kWh) basis.
• Engage with government and provide guidance with regard to the establishment and implementation of an effective electric vehicle strategy for Canada in a holistic manner, focused on demand and supply policy in the electric vehicle space. This includes providing recommendations to government with respect to addressing any policy, program and regulatory proposals which may impact market fairness and equality among automotive retailers or brands, or that may negatively impact subsets of consumers in Canada. This further includes providing recommendations to government in regard to transitioning some demand-side program funding streams from tax-base to revenue-neutral, non-tax and avoidable regulatory charges, while increasing access and providing program benefits to consumers interested in larger vehicle classes. The objective is to maximize greenhouse gas reduction benefits of these demand-side programs while also establishing the required supply-side policy to support demand-side goals, such as through strict light duty vehicle emissions regulation, zero emission vehicle standards or a combination of both.
• Engagement with government through consultations and meetings related to the Clean Fuel Standard, emissions standards, electric vehicle strategies and battery material supply chain with respect to the design of policy and regulatory frameworks to ensure: renewable energy and electric transport are treated appropriately as clean fuels under the Clean Fuel Standard; barriers to electric vehicle adoption are being addressed; an effective battery material supply chain for the North American industry is being established; effective and strong vehicle greenhouse gas standards are in place; and that attention is being paid to barriers facing the adoption of electric trucks.
