Quebec’s government lowers its electric vehicle sales target for a second time, according to business and local reporting. The province now aims for zero-emission vehicles to account for 80% of new vehicle sales by 2035. The change follows a previous adjustment to the target, indicating the government is recalibrating its long-term approach to meeting transportation emissions goals.
The reporting frames the updated target as a revision to Quebec’s broader plan to increase the share of zero-emission vehicles on provincial roads. The government’s latest goal sets a specific benchmark for future vehicle sales, maintaining a 2035 timeframe while reducing the proportion it expects new purchases to be zero-emission.
While the articles focus on the target reduction, both describe the updated figure and highlight that this is not the first time Quebec has moved the target. The coverage does not indicate that the province is abandoning its zero-emission direction, but instead presents the revision as an adjustment to its trajectory toward higher adoption.
