Canada freezes the payments of discounts in Tesla, prevents it from future programs due to rates
Canada frozen all the discounts for Tesla and prohibited the manufacturer of electric vehicles with future discount programs EV, the transport minister Chrystia Freeland said Tuesday.
Discounts will not be made until each complaint is investigated individually and determined to be valid, Freeland has declared in a declaration and -mail shared by his office.
Freeland has also ordered Transport Canada to review the eligibility requirements for future incentives for zero -emission vehicle programs (IZEV) to ensure that Tesla vehicles are not eligible as long as “illegal and illegal and illegal tariffs are imposed against Canada”.
Tesla did not immediately respond to a Reuters commentary request.
The President of the United States Donald Trump has imposed a series of rates, mostly due to the beginning of April, in the form of taxes of 25 % on most goods from Canada.
On Monday Trump said that car rates will soon arrive, even if not all his threatened outlets would have been applied on April 2 as previously indicated.
Canada has frozen $ 43 million in payments of discounts for Tesla. The order to stop payments came before the liberal leader Mark Carney announced that the general elections would take place on April 28, according to the Star of Toronto, who reported the news previously.
The star reported at the beginning of this month that Tesla presented an extraordinary number of reimbursement complaints in the last days of the program in January, with a single Tesla dealership in the Quebec City which claimed almost $ 20 million in public subsidies by documenting more than 4,000 sales of electric vehicles in a single weekend.
Ontario has stopped providing financial incentives for Teslas acquired such as taxi or ride due to commercial tensions with the United States at the beginning of this month.
The CEO of Tesla Elon Musk, a narrow ally of Trump, guided the effort of the White House to reduce the federal government and the budget as the head of the government’s efficiency department.
