China makes a hybrid for 14k. I'm guessing we will have those retaliatory tariffs from China in perpetuity to protect this, and protect ourselves from lower prices.

I don’t think you can make a safe and practical EV for 14k without resorting to slave labour. The battery required to drive a range expected by Canadians will cost most of that alone.
