Canada to take up leadership in manufacturering Ev s Canada is home to both the raw materials and skilled workforce required for EV production. This provides a unique opportunity for Canada to convert its existing auto ecosystem to EVs while leveraging its access to the resources required to build the batteries that power them. Already, the first Canadian-made hybrid SUV has rolled off the line in Cambridge, Ont.
Localized manufacturing will simplify the supply chain while creating opportunities for global trade. Several vehicle manufacturers have already laid out plans to build electric vehicles or EV components, such as batteries, in Canada. Federal and provincial government support has been critical in securing these investments, enhancing Canada's attractiveness for future investments.
