What we know about Lotus coming to Laval
Rollout plan: Lotus's Canadian entry is expected to begin in late 2026, prioritising high-EV-adoption metros first. Laval is among the priority metros expected in the first wave of Chinese-EV dealer openings. Quebec is part of the first-wave launch region, which shapes when the Eletre is likely to be orderable locally.
Certification & import status: Before any sale, the Lotus Eletre must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). New Chinese-made EVs have also faced a 100% import surtax, which directly affects launch timing and pricing. For the current state of play, read our 2026 Chinese EV tariff guide.
Expected Laval pricing: Estimated at $119,900 CAD (around $117,900 after Quebec's $2,000 rebate). See the full Lotus Eletre price breakdown for Laval.
While you wait: compare the Eletre against rivals, check the 600 km range against Laval winter conditions, and review full specs on the Lotus Eletre page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy the Lotus Eletre in Laval right now?
No. As of 2026, the Lotus Eletre — like all Chinese-built EVs — is not yet on sale in Canada. Lotus is among the priority metros expected in the first wave of Chinese-EV dealer openings, with availability in Laval projected for late 2026. The best way to be first in line is to reserve your spot and get notified the moment Laval availability is confirmed.
When is the Lotus Eletre release date in Laval?
Laval falls into the first wave of the expected Canadian rollout, with a projected window of late 2026. Timing depends on dealer network buildout, vehicle certification with Transport Canada, and the evolving tariff situation on Chinese-made EVs. Dates are estimates and not yet officially confirmed by Lotus.
Can I import a Lotus Eletre to Laval myself before launch?
Privately importing a new Lotus Eletre into Canada is generally not practical today: the vehicle must meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS), and new Chinese-made EVs have faced a 100% import surtax. For almost all buyers, waiting for the official Lotus Canadian launch is the realistic path. Read our tariff explainer for the latest on the import situation.
How much will the Lotus Eletre cost in Laval?
The Lotus Eletre is expected to be priced around $119,900 CAD, or about $117,900 after Quebec's $2,000 provincial rebate. Chinese EVs are not eligible for the federal EVAP rebate. See our Laval pricing breakdown for the full estimate.
Will there be a Lotus dealer in Laval?
Lotus's Canadian launch plan centres on a dealer network in major metros. Laval is among the priority metros expected in the first wave of Chinese-EV dealer openings.
