This new program 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.
