Federal rebate incoming ?

[Muaddid]

I've seen a few articles on the funding of fast charging infrastructure but only the french article from La Presse mentions the desire to add a federal level rebate on electric cars, and soon too ! Something to watch for

"...il offrira à son tour une aide financière aux acheteurs de ce type de voitures."

Remains to be seen if the "soon" will mean the next budget by the end of march or the next elections...

Could be a bone thrown to EV enthusiasts ahead of the election this fall.

If this rebate comes in do you think current owners in provinces that did not offer a rebate at time of purchase be able to claim it?

Nope.

Do we have any "off record" information here, or do we just speculate based on that lapresse.ca article? If anybody has more info, could he/she share it with us?

I think this will be part of their election campaign. I do hope so as I really want to get another EV for my wife - possibly the model Y.

You'll have to wait a month to see what the next federal budget is going to include.

Last time I heard of one was a couple of years ago, and they were floating a paltry $3K.

Still better than nothing.
As price of EV coming down, it would make sense.
