Trudeau said electric vehicles fight pollution, but often are too expensive for many Canadians.

“We know we need to cut emissions,” he said Monday at an outdoor news conference at Royal Roads University in Colwood, a Victoria suburb. “We know we need to reduce pollution and one of the best ways of doing that is to get more clean cars on the road.”

Last week’s federal budget placed an emphasis on transitioning to the green economy, which included expanding the availability of zero-emission vehicles and charging stations, Trudeau said.

The federal government will extend a current program that offers electric vehicle buyers up to $5,000 to help with purchases and it will introduce mandatory sales targets that require 20 per cent of all vehicles sold by 2026 to be electric, he said.
