Northern Tesla recently published a YouTube video with a nifty roundup of all the EV rebates and incentives, both federal and provincial, that Canadians can take advantage of throughout 2021.
Here’s a list of all the EV rebates and incentives Canadians have access to this year:
Federal Rebates
- The iZEV program offers $5,000 off any EV with a base trim level available for under $45,000 at MSRP, and the highest trim level available for no more than $55,000 at MSRP.
Unfortunately, the Tesla Model Y does not qualify for the federal rebate, but Tesla has gone to great lengths to make sure that the Model 3 does. Here’s a list of all eligible EVs.
Provincial Rebates
In most cases, provincial rebates can be stacked on top of the $5,000 federal rebate to drive the cost of an EV even lower.
Alberta
- 50% off (up to $600) the purchase and installation of a Level 2 home charging station in the City of Edmonton (ends May 31, 2021).
British Columbia
- $3,000 off any EV priced up to $55,000 MSRP.
- 50% off (up to $700 from BC Hydro or up to $350 from Fortis BC) the purchase and installation of a Level 2 home charger.
- Up to $6,000 towards an EV for scrapping your gas-powered vehicle (Stack-able, but Tesla EVs are unfortunately not eligible).
