The production of zero emission vehicles and their related components presents a unique opportunity for Canada’s industrial and economic futures. By strategically positioning Canada to meet North American demand for electric vehicle (EV) batteries and ZEV components, we can drive growth in our vehicle sector, create perse job opportunities, and stimulate new intellectual property development.
Government investments in global firms for domestic production of EVs, battery modules, and components have already established a strong foundation. However, to ensure lasting benefits, we must build comprehensive value chains and support parts manufacturers for next-generation vehicles. This vision, though ambitious, is achievable with a clear game plan.

Over the next few weeks, Accelerate, seeks input from stakeholders to shape a national strategic approach. This strategy aims to grow and fortify Canada’s ZEV industry, aligning with North American economic goals and ensuring sustainable development, robust manufacturing, and innovative growth.

Building Canadian Power in Advanced Battery Materials
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s trip to Beijing this week resulted in a trade agreement that will permit up to 49,000 Chinese EVs to enter Canada.
As the Canada Strong Budget (2025) deploys $280 billion in capital investments over five years, Canada’s battery sector is experiencing a rare alignment of political will, infrastructure funding, and market demand.
