Save money with incentives for buying a ZEV
We are making it more affordable to switch to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) and reduce your greenhouse gas emissions through incentives for the purchase of ZEVs.
To date, hundreds of thousands of Canadians and Canadian businesses have benefited from the incentive programs, and many more are signing up each month.
Federal incentives
Electric Vehicle Affordability Program
Up to $5,000 is available at the point of sale to Canadian individuals and businesses for the purchase or lease of light-duty ZEVs. Most personal vehicles, like cars, SUVs, and light pick-up trucks fall into the light-duty vehicle category.
Federal tax incentive for businesses
Canadian organizations and businesses can benefit from an enhanced first-year capital cost allowance on the purchase of an eligible ZEV. Learn more about whether this option is the right choice for your business.
Provincial incentives
Some provinces and territories offer incentives and rebates to support:
- buying new or used ZEVs
- the installation of residential chargers
- shipping costs for the purchase of a used ZEV
These could be combined with federal incentives. Check applicable provincial or territorial websites for up-to-date information on the incentives available in your region.
These provinces currently offer ZEV-related incentives:
