Learn how to qualify for the CEV for BC program

Beginning April 1, 2015, the Province, through its Phase 2 CEV for BC program, will provide the following rebates on eligible CEVs to British Columbians:
• Up to $5,000 for the purchase or lease of new battery electric vehicles
• Up to $5,000 for the purchase or lease of new plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
• Up to $6,000 for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles

BC vehicle incentives are available through the local dealerships that sell or lease qualifying new vehicles. This program will run for three years to make electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles more affordable for you and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Learn how to qualify for SCRAP-IT program incentives

If you have a 2000 or older vehicle that you wish to retire and purchase a new CEV, you could qualify for additional rebates through the new $3,250 SCRAP-IT program incentives (https://scrapit.ca/).

These incentives may be combined with the Phase 2 CEV for BC rebates — a total savings of up to $8,250 towards a qualified electric vehicle purchase.
