Electric vehicle rebates in Canada changed significantly over the past year. The previous federal iZEV program ended, and a new federal incentive has launched. At the same time, some provincial rebates have ended while others remain active.

This guide explains:

• The federal EV rebate in 2026 (EVAP)

• Active provincial and territorial EV incentives

• Available home Level 2 charger rebates

• Which programs have ended

Incentives can pause without much notice if funding runs out. Always confirm eligibility before you sign paperwork or book an installation.

Federal EV rebate in Canada (2026)

Canada’s federal purchase incentive is now the Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP). It applies to eligible new battery-electric vehicles (BEVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs), and fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs) purchased or leased on or after February 16, 2026.

EVAP rebate amounts

• Up to $5,000 for eligible BEVs and FCEVs
• Up to $2,500 for eligible PHEVs

EVAP eligibility (what typically matters most)

• Vehicle eligibility: Only certain models/variants qualify. EVAP has an official eligible vehicle list you should check before you buy.
• The Price Cap: To qualify, the vehicle’s “final transaction value” (the price after fees and options but before taxes) must be $50,000 or less.
• How it’s applied: The program is intended to be processed at the point of sale. The EVAP submission portal opens March 31, 2026 (confirm how your dealer is handling submissions).

Provincial and territorial EV incentives

British Columbia EV rebate

BC EV purchase rebates (2026): BC’s passenger vehicle purchase rebate is not currently available (the CleanBC Go Electric passenger rebate has been paused/ended).

BC home EV charger rebate (Level 2): BC still offers support for home charging in many cases:

• Up to 50% of eligible costs, to a maximum of $350 for the purchase and installation of an eligible Level 2 home charger in British Columbia. Review BC’s electric vehicle charger rebate program for single-family homes.

Quebec home charger rebate

• Up to $600 for the purchase and installation of a home (240V) charging station. Review Quebec’s financial assistance for a home charging station here.

Newfoundland and Labrador EV rebate

Newfoundland and Labrador offers:

• Up to $2,500 for eligible all-electric vehicles
• $1,500 for eligible plug-in hybrids

This program is time-limited and subject to funding availability (and application deadlines matter).

Northwest Territories EV rebate

In the NWT, incentives are typically structured as:

• Up to $7,500 for eligible passenger EV purchases (program details can vary based on location and grid connection)
• Up to $500 for a Level 2 home charging station (common structure)

Because NWT programs can be highly dependent on funding and local conditions, confirm details right before purchase/installation.

Manitoba EV rebate

Manitoba’s EV rebate program includes:

• Up to $4,000 for eligible new EVs
• Up to $2,500 for eligible used EVs

Eligibility usually includes an MSRP/price cap and specific program dates.

Alberta and Saskatchewan EV rebate

As of today, Alberta and Saskatchewan do not have a provincial passenger EV purchase rebate. That said, charger incentives can sometimes exist through local utilities, municipalities, or building programs, especially for multi-unit residential or workplace charging.

New Brunswick EV rebate

New Brunswick’s provincial EV incentive program ended on July 1, 2025. 

Nova Scotia EV rebate

Nova Scotia’s consumer light-duty EV rebate program has ended. The province has shifted focus to other program areas, such as medium/heavy-duty support. For updates, review the Electrify Nova Scotia Rebate program here. 

Can you combine federal and provincial EV incentives?

Often, yes, if both programs are active and the vehicle is eligible. For example, a buyer may qualify for federal EVAP and also qualify for a provincial incentive or home charger rebate (where available). Each program has its own eligibility rules, timelines, and paperwork.

Home EV charger rebates: what most programs require

Even when purchase rebates change, home charging incentives often remain available. Common requirements include:

• Level 2 (240V) charger is on an approved list or meets eligibility specs
• Installation done by a licensed electrician
• Proof of purchase, proof of installation, and photos/permit documents (depending on the program)

Quick checklist before you buy an EV (or install a charger)

1. Confirm the incentive is currently open and funded
2. Confirm your exact vehicle configuration is eligible (not just the model name)
3. Confirm the price cap / transaction cap rules
4. Confirm the purchase/lease date window and application timing
5. Keep all paperwork (bill of sale/lease agreement, VIN, charger invoice, electrician receipt)
