Canada’s shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) gained significant momentum in 2023, with the country experiencing a notable increase in the number of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) on the road. According to Statistics Canada data, there were over 120,000 BEVs registered last year, marking a 27% rise compared to 2022. This surge reflects broader trends in the automotive market, driven by government incentives, expanding charging infrastructure, and increasing consumer awareness of environmental issues.
Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec remain the leaders in BEV registrations, though other provinces are beginning to see more widespread adoption. As the Canadian government pushes for stricter emissions regulations and continues to offer incentives, the BEV market is expected to keep growing in 2024 and beyond.
