Article content

You’ve read his Motor Mouth column for years and now David Booth is bringing his sharp intellect, vast experience and pull-no punches criticisms to the podcast world as today Motor Mouth begins a new era, in which you’ll be able to listen to David’s unique takes on an industry that is undergoing seismic changes in Canada and around the world. He’ll still be writing his weekly Motor Mouth column, and this podcast will see him expand on the topics and issues he raises in those writings.

In this first episode of the David delves into Canada’s just announced Zero Emission Vehicle mandate. Not surprisingly, he’s not impressed. The mandate sees the federal government outlaw the sales of passenger cars powered by fossil-fueled internal combustion engines as of 2035. And the road map to that goal calls for automakers to sell at least 20 per cent EVS of their annual volume in 2026, 43 per cent by 2029, 60 per cent by 2030 and 83 per cent by 2033.
