Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP)

The Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP) provides incentives to make electric vehicles more affordable, as well as to help Canadians buy or lease Canadian-made electric vehicles.

More electric vehicles on the road will help reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from transportation.

Electric vehicle purchase or lease transactions made on, or after, February 16, 2026, may qualify for an incentive. The program will run until March 31, 2031, or earlier if funding is used up.

Available funding

The EVAP received $2.275B in funding over 5 years. As of September 1, 2026, there is $2.00B in remaining funds.
