Canada allows Chinese EVs into market

[R P]

Since EVs and charging infrastructure are well established in Canada, can't imagine the Chinese trying to introduce another type here now. Might not sell a lot of cars, if you can't charge them.

Is it possible to just run an adapter like ccs to NACS?

If the battery bus and fast DC charger are in the same voltage range, a handshake translator (i.e., adapter) should work. But if a battery is at 800 VDC and the charger 400 VDC, no.

Will Donald Trump force Canada to scuttle the Chinese EV deal before he'll allow the opening of the recently completed Gordie Howe International Bridge (check it out, it's beautiful)? Or will Canada just have to change the bridge's name?

He is more likely to scuttle USMCA, and then we won't need that new bridge.

Quote from the article with regard to adapters:
"Charging networks are forced to use chargers with multiple cables, at added cost. What’s more, poor quality chargers and adapters have created fire risks."
