📈 As the U.S. makes bold moves to secure their EV supply chains, Canada is at a critical juncture. In his recent opinion piece for the Toronto Star, Accelerate-Accélérer CEO Matthew Fortier highlights the urgent need for Canada to ramp up its mining operations, enhance battery production, and create a more favorable regulatory environment to support EV manufacturing. With $35 billion already invested in the domestic EV sector, more is needed to keep pace and avoid reliance on imports. Following our October gathering in Windsor, this opinion piece discusses industry leaders’ calls for decisive action to strengthen Canada’s position in the North American EV landscape.
