Quebec’s Bold Move: Banning Gas-Powered Vehicle Sales by 2035
The Quebec government has taken a historic step towards a greener future by passing legislation to ban the sale of most gas-powered vehicles by 2035. This landmark decision positions Quebec as a leader in Canada’s push toward clean energy and sets a clear timeline for consumers and automakers to transition to electric vehicles (EVs).
At Orleans Kia, we’re proud to support this shift by offering a robust lineup of electric vehicles (EVs) that combine innovation, efficiency, and reliability—making it easier for drivers to embrace the future of transportation.
What Does the 2035 Gas Vehicle Ban Mean?
The new law prohibits the sale of most new gasoline-powered vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, and pickup trucks, starting in 2035. Here’s what this means for drivers:
- End of New Gas Cars: By 2035, dealerships in Quebec will no longer sell new gas-powered vehicles, pushing buyers towards electric options.
- A Greener Future: The law is a major step in reducing carbon emissions and combatting climate change.
- Focus on EV Infrastructure: This change also encourages improvements in charging infrastructure, making EV ownership more convenient.
While gas-powered vehicles will still be allowed on the roads, the shift signals the beginning of the end for traditional combustion engines.
