British Columbia Clean Energy Vehicle Program boosts zero-emission vehicles with EV incentives, hydrogen fuel cell rebates, SCRAP-IT savings, and charging infrastructure expansion to cut GHG emissions and support made-in-BC green technology and mobility.
Context and Background
Provincial initiative funding EV incentives and infrastructure to expand zero-emission adoption and cut GHG emissions.
Up to $5,000 BEV and $6,000 hydrogen fuel cell rebates
$40M over three years for incentives and charging network
SCRAP-IT stackable savings up to $11,000 on new EVs
Minister of Energy and Mines Bill Bennett today announced an investment of $40 million to encourage British Columbians to make the switch to zero-emission vehicles, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and support investment in made-in-B.C. green energy solutions and technology.
“Zero-emission vehicles are clean, quiet and reliable, and help drivers reduce fuel and maintenance costs and tailpipe emissions, and are a growing economic sector in the province,” said Bennett. “Additional funding of $40 million for the Clean Energy Vehicle Program will help make zero-emission vehicles more affordable for British Columbians and build out EV charging infrastructure at residences, businesses and along our roads and highways to make sure there are places to charge them up.”
EV owners can also benefit from home and workplace charging rebates available across the province to expand access.
The funding for the Province’s Clean Energy Vehicle (CEV) Program will be distributed over the next three years to support continued point-of-sale purchase incentives of up to $5,000 for battery electric vehicles and $6,000 for hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles. When combined with SCRAP-IT program incentives and EV charger rebates, total savings could be up to $11,000 for a new electric vehicle.
