The Quebec government announced the adoption of a bill Monday that will prohibit the sale of certain gas-powered vehicles by 2035.

Summary

Quebec has passed a law banning the sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2035 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Starting in 2034, advertising gas-powered vehicles of the 2035 model year or later will be prohibited, and by the end of 2035, selling or leasing new gas-powered vehicles will be banned.

Exceptions include emergency, rental, and off-road vehicles, while used gas-powered cars can still be resold and driven.

Quebec aims for 2 million EVs on its roads by 2030, though challenges remain as EV rebates phase out starting in 2025.

    Plus we have super cheap electricity assuming attempts to privatize Hydro-Québec keep failing.

      Your comment made me angry. These old accounting cunts are always trying to fuck us over to pad their budget short term.

      Privatization is a plague and neo liberalism needs to die a gruesome death.

      SAQ made almost 1.5 billion in profits, but the government is trying to shaft their employees by reducing the business hours, among some other issues, just to make more profits. Fuck off already
