slight contraction when compared to the previous quarter. Overall
ZEV market share in Canada also declined in the first quarter,
mainly due to a decrease in volume in Ontario and Quebec.
There are various factors contributing to the change in ZEV market
share. One of them is Tesla registrations, as historically Tesla
accounted for 40% to 50% of the volume within the ZEV segment.
