British Columbia's plan to accelerate its zero-emission-vehicle (ZEV) transition has alarmed the auto industry and brought calls for more flexibility. The NDP government's revised sales mandates call for 100% of sales of new light-duty vehicles to be ZEVs by 2035, five years ahead of the original date. Interim targets of 26% by 2026 and 90% by 2030 are also tougher. The new targets, which could become law in spring, are significantly tougher than the federal mandates. Automakers face stiff financial penalties if they aren't reached.
