If you are looking to lease or purchase a new zero-emission vehicle and would like to know whether it is eligible for the Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) Program, please consult the list of eligible vehicles below. To help with your eligible vehicles search, you can search items on the list using the search function, including by fuel type.

If you have any additional questions about a particular make or model, please contact the auto manufacturer or your local dealership.

For more information on vehicle eligibility, please consult the information listed under the List of Eligible Vehicles.

Vehicle eligibility criteria

To be eligible under the iZEV Program, a vehicle must:

• meet all of Canada’s Motor Vehicle Safety Standards;
• be meant for use on public streets, roads, and highways; and
• have at least four functioning wheels and be able to drive on a highway (in other words, not a low-speed vehicle).

Only new ZEVs are eligible for the federal incentive (i.e., vehicles registered for the first time). Eligible ZEVs that are demonstrators (a demo vehicle that buyers can test-drive) are considered new vehicles and are eligible for the incentive if the odometer reads less than 10,000 km. Before including a vehicle on the list of eligible vehicles, Transport Canada has reviewed an application from the automaker and has found that the vehicle meets the iZEV Program requirements. Namely, that the vehicle is:

• a passenger car, where the base model Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is less than $55,000;
  • higher-priced trims of these vehicles, up to a maximum MSRP of $65,000, will also be eligible for purchase incentives;

or

• a station wagon, pickup truck (light truck), sport utility vehicle (SUV), minivan, van, or special purpose vehicle, where the base model Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is less than $60,000;
  • higher-priced trims of these vehicles, up to a maximum MSRP of $70,000, will also be eligible for purchase incentives.

Vehicles are still eligible for the incentive even if delivery, freight and other fees (like vehicle colour, add-on accessories (e.g., a roof rack), options, and packages) push the actual purchase price over these set limits. As long as a vehicle (the year, make, model, and trim) appears on the above list of eligible vehicles, an incentive can be provided. A “trim” is a pre-set package of equipment and finishes offered for a particular vehicle model (e.g., base, sport, touring, etc.). A vehicle model can have multiple trim levels. Different trim levels will usually have different prices.
