Advocacy

Electric Mobility Canada is regularly asked to influence and be part of discussions with governments and other stakeholders on policies to increase EV adoption.

What We Do

Electric Mobility Canada is the voice for electric transportation in Canada, and federal and provincial advocacy is an inherent part of its mandate and activities. Through its Government Relations Committee, EMC maintains contact with federal, provincial and municipal governments on critical policies regarding the electric transportation and its infrastructure.
