EV purchase incentives
General advice. Each program’s own rules come first.
- Incentives are usually at the dealer
- Most federal and provincial EV incentives are applied at the point of sale. Confirm the dealer is registered and that the incentive appears on the bill of sale.
- Check price caps
- Programs often cap the eligible vehicle price, and the cap can depend on the trim level.
- Watch for funding limits
- EV programs can pause when funding runs out. Check the status on the day you buy.
