Canadian EV news by model and maker — pricing in Canadian dollars, range ratings, recall notices from Transport Canada, lease rates, and delivery timelines for every electric vehicle sold in Canada. From the Tesla Model Y and Model 3 to the Hyundai Kona Electric, Kia EV6, Chevrolet Equinox EV, and Chinese-brand entries arriving under Canada’s import framework, this section tracks what Canadians can actually buy, lease, and service today.

Vehicles — common questions

Which electric vehicles are available in Canada right now?

Battery-electric models currently sold in Canada include the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y, Hyundai Kona Electric and Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and EV9, Chevrolet Equinox EV and Blazer EV, Ford Mustang Mach-E and F-150 Lightning, Nissan Leaf and Ariya, plus a growing list of offerings from BMW, Polestar, Volvo, Toyota, and Vinfast. Our vehicles section tracks Canadian pricing, trims, and availability as automakers announce them.

Where can I find Transport Canada EV recall notices?

Transport Canada publishes recall campaigns for vehicles sold in Canada, and our vehicles section covers EV recalls that affect Canadian owners — including recent campaigns for the Ford Mustang Mach-E, Tesla Model 3 and Model Y headlights, Toyota Highlander seats, and Jeep Grand Cherokee coil springs. Each recall story cites the campaign number and affected unit count where the regulator publishes them.

Are Chinese EV brands coming to Canada?

Canada’s surtax and import-quota framework governs how Chinese-built EVs enter the market. BYD has opened a Canadian website and a Markham presence, and models like the BYD Sealion 7 have been spotted testing on Canadian plates. Our vehicles and policy sections track quota windows, tariff decisions, and which Chinese-brand models actually reach Canadian dealers.

2026 Mustang Mach-E GT Canadian Highway Test: 'Too Easy' — 500 km Trip, $10–12 in Charging

A Canadian highway test of the 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT found the electric crossover neared its official range at highway speed and cost $10–12 in charging for a 300-plus-mile trip. The reviewer's verdict: longer ranges and better charging have made EV road trips 'a little too easy' — though the GT's bucket seats and stiff suspension drew complaints.
