Yes. Same as California rules.
phev should not be allowed. they're not zero emission. Fuck Toyota for knowingly championing hybrid tech which extended petrol cars for decades.
Disclaimer: I don't think PHEVs are zero-emission. And I don't know why Canada thinks they are. With that said, let's carry on...
Since hybrid cars have less fuel consumption and the range of those vehicles don't suffer as much in colder climates, I do think it's a nice transitional technology between ordinary ICEs and full battery EVs.
Once we reach the point where charging stations especially fast charging stations are commonplace (it still isn't the case here sadly) though, it can go straight to the dustbin of history.
