If you're looking for the old iZEV rebate, it's been replaced. Canada launched the Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP) on February 16, 2026. It offers up to $5,000 on new battery-electric vehicles and works automatically at the dealership — no application needed.
| Vehicle Type | Rebate Amount |
|---|---|
| Battery-electric vehicle (BEV) | Up to $5,000 |
| Fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) | Up to $5,000 |
| Plug-in hybrid (PHEV) | Up to $2,500 |
The final transaction value (including all fees, options, and taxes) must be under $50,000 for most vehicles. There is no price cap for Canadian-manufactured EVs — so vehicles like the Equinox EV built in Ingersoll, Ontario qualify regardless of final price.
EVAP is applied directly at the point of sale. When you buy an eligible EV from a participating dealer, the rebate is automatically deducted from your purchase price. You do not fill out any forms or wait for a cheque. The dealer claims the rebate from the government on your behalf.
Yes — and this is where big savings happen. Quebec's Roulez vert program adds up to $4,000 on top of EVAP, giving Quebec buyers up to $9,000 combined on a new BEV.
| Province | Federal EVAP | Provincial | Combined |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quebec | $5,000 | $4,000 (Roulez vert) | $9,000 |
| Ontario | $5,000 | None | $5,000 |
| BC | $5,000 | None (CEVforBC paused) | $5,000 |
| Other provinces | $5,000 | Check your province | $5,000+ |
The iZEV (Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles) program closed in early 2025. EVAP is its replacement with a slightly different structure — the per-person lifetime limit is new, and Canadian-manufactured vehicles are exempt from the price cap.
Beyond EVs, there are rebates for heat pumps, insulation, solar, and more. Find everything you qualify for in 60 seconds.
