GM Powers Homes, Takes #1 and Sends A Message To the PM!

GM Powers Homes, Takes #1 and Sends A Message To the PM!

Fresh off the news that Canada is winding back its zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) ambitions, Imogen caught up with Kristian Aquilina, President and Managing Director of General Motors Canada, to get his perspective on the future of the automotive industry in Canada.


The conversation covers how GM's EV lineup is performing in Canada, the challenges and opportunities ahead, and how the company is adapting to a rapidly changing automotive landscape. They also address common EV concerns, including range anxiety and charging infrastructure, and how these issues are being tackled.

They discuss the role of public policy, including federal and provincial EV incentives, infrastructure investment, and the importance of collaboration between industry and government to support a successful transition to zero-emission vehicles.
