The government says this golf push cart is a Chinese EV. The tariffs are crippling a Canadian company

McLuckie said his business doesn't have the money to cover that bill

The owner of a small Canadian business that imports electric golf carts from China is facing financial difficulties due to a government decision. The federal government has classified the three-wheeled golf carts as electric vehicles (EVs), resulting in a bill of over $178,000 in tariffs. This classification has put the Canadian company in jeopardy.

The government has placed the golf carts in the same import category as EVs, leading to the hefty tariff bill. The Canadian business imports the electric golf carts from China.

The situation has put the company at risk, according to the National Post.
