Représentations auprès du gouvernement fédéral concernant les politiques, programmes et mesures réglementaires visant à soutenir et à accélérer le développement de l’industrie canadienne des transports électriques et intelligents. Les démarches portent notamment sur le déploiement d’infrastructures de recharge publiques et privées, l’adoption de réglementation favorisant l'atteinte de cibles ambitieuses en matière d’électrification des transports, ainsi que la mise en place et le maintien de programmes et de politiques publiques favorisant la transition vers les véhicules zéro émission et le développement de la filière industrielle canadienne. Participation à la consultation sur la compatibilité de la recharge des véhicules électriques au Canada. Les recommandations visent à promouvoir l’harmonisation des standards de recharge pour les véhicules légers en Amérique du Nord, à favoriser une transition graduelle vers le standard NACS et à assurer la coexistence et l’interopérabilité des infrastructures de recharge utilisant les standards CCS et NACS durant la période de transition. Les interventions portent également sur la mise en place d’exigences de certification et de sécurité applicables pour les adaptateurs de recharge, ainsi que sur l’élaboration d’orientations et de stratégies relatives aux standards de recharge des véhicules moyens et lourds. Participation aux consultations prébudgétaires en vue du budget de 2026 afin de recommander l’adoption de mesures favorisant la décarbonation du secteur des transports et la croissance de l’industrie québécoise des transports zéro émission. Les représentations portent sur l’adoption d’orientations visant le renforcement des normes de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre pour les véhicules légers, le maintien et l’amélioration des mesures incitatives à l’acquisition de véhicules zéro émission ainsi que le maintien du Règlement sur les combustibles propres. Elles visent également les mesures favorisant l’électrification du transport collectif et scolaire ainsi que le déploiement de projets structurants de transport en commun. Enfin, les recommandations concernent le soutien au développement de la chaîne de valeur des batteries et des minéraux critiques et stratégiques au Canada. Participation à la consultation concernant l’allocation et l’administration par le Canada du contingent d’importation pour les véhicules électriques en provenance de la Chine afin de formuler des recommandations au gouvernement du Canada visant notamment à cibler les segments de véhicules 100 % électriques limités, indisponibles ou non fabriqués au Canada, ainsi qu’à intégrer des exigences environnementales, sociales et de gouvernance (ESG) applicables aux entreprises qui s’établissent au Canada ou qui intègrent la chaîne d’approvisionnement canadienne. Démarches visant à obtenir un soutien financier pour déployer un projet de démonstration de recharge bidirectionnelle (V2G) afin de connaître et mettre en valeur les bénéfices de cette technologie et développer une expertise au sein de l’écosystème canadien. Démarches afin de recommander au gouvernement du Canada de poursuivre les efforts pour accélérer la transition vers l’électrification des transports en maintenant et prolongeant le Programme d’infrastructure pour les véhicules à émission zéro (PIVEZ) et en assurant un déploiement régulier, cohérent et prévisible de l’infrastructure de recharge dans l’ensemble du pays. Il est aussi recommandé de soutenir le de?ploiement d’un re?seau national de recharge rapide pour le transport de marchandises et de maintenir des incitatifs pour les véhicules zéro émission légers, moyens et lourds (Programme iVMLZE).
