The new Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP) encourages Canadians to buy or lease affordable electric vehicles (EVs) by offering incentives for transactions with a final value of $50,000 or less. There is no final transaction value limit on EVs made in Canada.
To qualify, EVs must be made in Canada or in countries that have free-trade agreements with Canada.
Incentives start at:
- up to $5,000 for battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles
- up to $2,500 for plug-in hybrid vehicles
Canadians can now benefit from this new program as of February 16, 2026.
Available funding
The EVAP received $2.275B in funding over 5 years. As of April 1, 2026, there is $2.275B in remaining funds.
