Rebate FAQ

What federal EV rebate is available in Canada?
The Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP) provides point-of-sale discounts on eligible new EVs: up to $5,000 for battery-electric and fuel-cell vehicles and up to $2,500 for plug-in hybrids. EVAP replaced the old iZEV program, and its maximums step down each year — $4,000 in 2027, declining to $2,000 in the program's final years. Only models on the official Transport Canada eligible list qualify (MSRP ceiling ≈ $50,000), and the program applies to new vehicles only.
Which provinces still have EV purchase rebates?
Six jurisdictions still pay: the Northwest Territories (up to $7,500, grid-dependent), Yukon (up to $5,000 BEV / $3,000 PHEV), PEI (up to $4,000 BEV / $2,000 PHEV), Manitoba (up to $4,000 new / $2,500 used), Newfoundland and Labrador (up to $2,500 BEV / $1,500 PHEV), and Quebec (up to $2,000 new BEV). British Columbia has paused/ended its passenger rebate (commercial/fleet programs remain), New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have ended theirs, and Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Nunavut offer none.
Do EV rebates stack in Canada?
Yes — in provinces with active programs, the provincial rebate stacks directly on top of the federal EVAP rebate. Combined maximums reach about $12,500 in the Northwest Territories, $10,000 in Yukon, $9,000 in PEI and Manitoba, and $7,500 in Newfoundland and Labrador and Quebec. In provinces without a program (Ontario, BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, NS, NB), the federal EVAP discount is the whole story.
Are there price or income limits?
Most programs cap vehicle price: roughly $50,000 MSRP for the federal EVAP program and commonly $65,000–$70,000 for provincial programs. A loaded trim can disqualify a vehicle whose base model qualifies. Check the current eligible-vehicle list for each program before you shop.
