Story updated:
Tesla vehicles have already been removed from the province's electric vehicle subsidy program, but that decision was not political. Instead, it was the result of changes last year made to limit the subsidy to vehicles with a manufacturer's suggested retail price below $50,000 for cars and below $70,000 for larger vehicles.
This does not include EVs. They will still give you $4,000 if you buy a Tesla.
The rebate program allows British Columbians to get up to $350 to purchase and install an EV charger in their homes.
As of March 12, Tesla chargers, energy storage batteries and inverters are not eligible for rebates

How about we remove tariffs from Chinese EVs in addition to this?

The enemy of our enemy is not necessarily our friend. This applies to China, they want to annex Taiwan for example and should be economically avoided

While true and I don't want to financially support their goals, would we be doing that? As long as they're subsidizing production, we'd effectively be exploiting their desire to corner the EV market.
I would however still not lift those tariffs if it puts us significantly at odds with EU-based nations.
