Canada’s New EV Rebates Are Here – Save Big on Your Next Electric Vehicle
The EVAP – Electric Vehicle Affordability Program Launches February 16, 2026
The Government of Canada has announced a $2.3 billion national EV incentive program designed to make electric vehicles more affordable for Canadians.
Whether you're looking at a Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) or a Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), you could qualify for thousands in rebates — available for purchases and leases.
How Much Can You Save?
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs)
✔ Up to $5,000 rebate in 2026
✔ Available on purchase or lease
✔ Gradually decreases to $2,000 by 2030
✔ Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs)

Which Vehicles Qualify?
You may qualify if the vehicle:

Canada currently has free-trade agreements with:
- United States & Mexico (CUSMA)

Why Now Is the Best Time to Go Electric
✔ Federal rebates available through 2030
✔ Charging infrastructure expanding nationwide
✔ Lower fuel & maintenance costs
✔ Strong resale values
✔ Growing EV inventory across our group
Canada is targeting 75% EV sales by 2035 and 90% by 2040, meaning selection and incentives are strongest at the beginning of this transition.
