One company is on the hook for over $178,000, with another potentially facing even steeper penalties, threatening their survival. The government argues these battery-powered carts qualify as EVs because they transport golfers and gear. With no cash reserves to cover the full amount upfront—or risk losing a bond if they appeal—the owners are caught in a policy trap. This isn’t isolated: mobility scooters and power wheelchairs may also be affected. The root cause? A 17-month 100% tariff on Chinese EVs aimed at boosting Canada’s auto sector and aligning with U.S. trade policies.
