How does walking back the mandate spur more demand, exactly?

"The mandate requires the number of new ZEVs (zero-emission vehicles) sold in Canada to hit 20% by next year, 60% by 2030 and 100% by 2035 in order to help the country hit its emission-reduction targets.

A government release explains that the EV pause and other measures in the strategy will... spur more domestic demand."
