BC EV rebate to run out of money soon?

[BEPA400]

what's more frustrating is that tesla won't reserve funds for customers, leaving us hanging

This x10000! The Tesla DA was going to tell me my vin then when she realized that I knew that since the funds havent run out yet and they could have applied by now, she backtracked and said she didn't have my vin. CYA mode.

You can actually email cevforbc with your vin to enquire if funds have been reserved for you. Lol.. Mike at cevforbc is going to hate me when people read this.

It’s a stressful situation for everyone unfortunately. Tesla DA staff are probably jumping from call to call for 8 hours straight.. I wouldn’t want to be them either.

I just want to see that fund top up and stop thinking about this. I guess that’s what I get for optimizing everything waiting for that double credit..

I have a feeling they will top if off again just like last time. Don't worry about it, at least you are not those buyers that bought the car at March of this year.

Maybe leave the environment minister out of it because they have nothing to do with the CEV funding. Sure the environment is the reason for all this but I assure you the ministry of energy and mines is the one that is in charge of this program.

I understand your point generally, but in this instance Heyman has been active in promoting EVs and CEVforBC as the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Strategy.

He might actually appreciate being copied and as a member of cabinet, be able to help in the push to get the money flowing.

Important Notice
Due to overwhelming demand, available program funds have been exhausted for the time being and applications are no longer being accepted. Any applications sent in are not guaranteed to be paid. Stay tuned for further updates on the CEVforBC website.

I think there are at least 7M available already budgeted. according to province's website, they had committed 77M, while CEVBC shows total disbursed and reserved total about 70M.

British Columbia introduced the CEV Program in 2011 and has since committed more than $71 million to the following program areas:

Clean Energy Vehicle Program - Province of British Columbia

in BC 2019-2020 budget there's fund reserved for CEVBC

Fingers crossed, they take a couple of days to put in place new regulations to get rid of the reservation and move to a paid after full payment system.

For the people that bought Model 3 before Federal Incentive kicks in on May 1st: Suck it up, that's too bad for the BC incentive is used up, I don't get the $5000 incentive from federal government anyways
For the people that is going to deliver the car within the next few days: Please god help me out on this! I will vote green party/NDP if i can get this $5000 provincial incentive with my model 3!
For the people that doesn't buy any EV: Oh god there are $42 millions allocate to these EVs in 2019-2020? what a waste of taxpayer's money

I'm trying to grasp your point, are EV incentives a waste of taxpayers money or a worthwhile expenditure?

That is more like emotional state instead of points, I see lots of people in this post starts feeling uneasy with the CEV incentive dried up. Which states are you falling into? Are you those one that bought the car before May 1st, or those one that is waiting to deliver the car?

They're not accepting application but later in the article, it mentioned fund will be added shortly?

So, is CEV gonna be replenished or not?

It's pretty clear in the text "We have been advised by government not to expect a gap in funding and anticipate further funds to be added shortly, as committed in the BC Provincial Budget 2019."

I would be surprised if the fund isn't topped up within a few days time.

It will be (or is expected to be), but they are waiting for the funding and until they get it, they aren't accepting applications.
