It applies to the initial purchase or lease of any new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/car-loans\/buying-and-financing-ev\">zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV)<\/a>, including battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCVs).<\/p><p>The federal EV rebate in Canada offers <strong>up to $5,000<\/strong> to the first registered owner of a battery-electric, hydrogen fuel cell or longer-range plug-in hybrid vehicle. Shorter-range plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are eligible for an incentive of $2,500.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/article><h4>Which vehicles are eligible for a Canada EV rebate from the federal government?<\/h4><p>There are more than 220 iZEV eligible vehicles to choose from. For a vehicle to be eligible for federal Canada EV rebates, it must meet a few basic requirements.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Passenger car:<\/strong> Must have a base model MSRP of less than $55,000. Higher-priced trims with MSRPs up to $65,000 are also eligible.<\/li><li><strong>Station wagon, pickup truck, SUV, minivan, van or special purpose vehicle:<\/strong> Must have a base model MSRP of less than $60,000.

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<h4>How long are EV rebates available for?<\/h4><p>Keep in mind that the Canada EV rebates listed above might change depending on program availability. The federal program was scheduled to end on March 31, 2025, but it was extended in the April 2024 federal budget and no new cut-off date was announced. Provincial incentives are constantly being revised based on available funding and program duration.<\/p><h3>How to claim an EV rebate in Canada<\/h3><p>The federal government EV rebate is a point-of-sale incentive. So if you\u2019re buying an eligible vehicle, the dealership will apply the rebate at the time of purchase.<\/p><p>The process for claiming a rebate from your provincial government varies depending on where you live. For example, if you live in Manitoba, the rebate will be provided once you register your EV with Manitoba Public Insurance. But if you live in British Columbia, you\u2019ll need to apply online and get pre-approved before buying your vehicle.<\/p><p>Check with the body that administers your province\u2019s EV rebate program to find out how to get a rebate. While you\u2019re there, check any other special eligibility requirements that apply. For instance, most programs will require you to purchase your vehicle from a licensed dealer in that province to qualify for a rebate. However, Prince Edward Island residents can purchase from an on- or off-island dealership.<\/p><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>Canada EV incentives help reduce the overall cost of going green.
