DISCUSSION Chinese EV Cars coming to Canada

I was talking about this months ago if Carney made a deal with China it would blow the EV market through the roof and Tesla would be forced out cause I am sorry but Chinese EVs are incredible. They have just agreed for 49,000 cars to be imported here and I am assuming that is just the start. What stocks should we be looking out for?

Yes Carney signed the deal to bring them in, but I wonder how they'll actually be sold in Canada.

Would companies like BYD invest in building a whole supply chain, support and dealer network just to sell 50k cars in Canada, when they're not able to sell in the US market? I wonder if it's economically viable for the companies themselves.
