Environment minister says consumer rebates for EVs will return
- Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin announced on June 17, 2025, the federal government will reinstate a consumer rebate program for electric vehicles in Ottawa.
- This follows the pause of the 2019-launched Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles program earlier this year, which ran out of funding amid a federal EV mandate.
- The government plans to introduce a new incentives program covering a wider range of EV categories and participants, aiming to make electric vehicles more affordable.
- Zero-Emission vehicles made up 8.11% of new vehicle sales in Canada during the first quarter of 2025, declining from 16.5% in the last three months of 2024, according to Statistics Canada.
- The revived rebate program and mandated zero-emission vehicle sales by 2035 suggest continued federal commitment to EV adoption despite political opposition and sales fluctuations.
