North American auto association execs talk Trump, trade and tariffs at 2025 EV Innovation & Technology Conference

What a difference a year makes.

In 2024, an optimistic mood marked the EV Innovation & Technology Conference in the wake of BloombergNEF’s announcement that Canada took first place in its lithium-ion battery supply chain ranking, surpassing China, the reigning powerhouse.

A decidedly different tone was struck at the well-attended 2025 conference held in Toronto for the third straight year. The event happened mere days after the U.S. and Canada narrowly averted a trade war. President Donald Trump’s threat to impose 25 per cent tariffs on all Canadian and Mexican imports had rattled the market, with the automotive sector being especially vulnerable should tariffs be implemented. According industry representatives a tariff this high would halt auto manufacturing in both countries within a week.

With the auto industry still contending with a heightened level of economic uncertainty, the opening panel was aptly titled, “U.S., Mexico and Canada: EV Manufacturing in the time of Trump.” Panelists included the respective head of each auto association in the three countries who have been in constant contact with each other since the trade dispute with the U.S. began in the lead up to re-negotiating the USMCA.

But as Flavio Volpe, president of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers'​ Association (APMA), said, “There’s no negotiating table right now in the USMCA discussions. There is only chaos.”
