EV rebates still available in Canada (2026).
Here's what's actually still available for a new EV like the Model Y Standard in Canada, starting with the federal program and then Ontario.
Federal: Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP)
Point-of-sale incentive for new eligible EVs bought or leased (12+ months) from February 16, 2026 to March 31, 2031, or until funding runs out. Final transaction value must be $50,000 or less unless the vehicle is made in Canada, and it must be made in Canada or a country with a free-trade agreement with Canada. Individuals get one incentive over the five years. (Transport Canada)
| Vehicle type | 2026 | 2027 | 2028 | 2029 | 2030 | 2031 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Battery-electric / fuel cell | $5,000 | $4,000 | $3,000 | $3,000 | $2,000 | $2,000 |
| Plug-in hybrid | $2,500 | $2,000 | $1,500 | $1,500 | $1,000 | $1,000 |

Ontario
No provincial purchase rebate (Ontario's ended in 2018) and no province-wide home charger rebate. Some local utilities run time-limited smart-charger programs; check yours. What Ontario does give you: green plates for solo HOV use and free HOT lanes, and very cheap Ultra-Low Overnight electricity.
Condos and apartments
Natural Resources Canada's Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program funds chargers for multi-unit residential buildings, workplaces and public sites, not detached homes. See charging at a Toronto condo.
Other provinces
Some provinces have their own programs (for example Quebec, Manitoba and PEI per EV North) Unconfirmed. Check your provincial government's site.
Outside Canada
US: the federal clean vehicle tax credit ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. UK/Europe: incentives vary by country and change often.
I film all of this on my own 2026 Model Y Standard. Watch on The Electric Standard on YouTube.
