Prior my Model S, the most I ever spent on a car was about $42k so, you are exactly right. Most of my other cars were much much less, like our Honda Accord or our Honda CR-V, but I suppose now that I have the Model S, I am rubbing elbows with Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffet. LOL!!!
I predict the gas companies will not lower prices by the same amount as the carbon tax. It’s already been demonstrated that people are willing to pay theee higher prices. Gas companies have no incentive to lower them even if there is no tax. At least Dougie is right about more money in the pockets of businesses.
Directive from Doug Ford today according to the Toronto Star:
The directive stipulates “any expense that can be placed on hold without putting government service delivery or the public at risk” in terms of health, safety and security matters.
“Any planned expenditures that are not committed by contract and/or required to meet immediate legal obligations or address matters of health or safety are to be deferred pending further direction,” the directive states.
So would this not mean an immediate freeze on rebates?

"Electricity production accounts for 38 percent of the total carbon dioxide emissions produced by the United States, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Transportation of people and goods accounts for 32 percent, while industry accounts for 14 percent."
Zero tailpipe is not zero CO2. The best solution is to reduce transportation needs. An EV is still part of the problem. Then there is the CO2 from the Tesla's that start on fire with no reason as just seen on the news.

And a positive from all this talk of incentives going away is that EV sales in Ontario have skyrocketed. Tesla has probably delivered over 2,000 cars in Toronto over the last few weeks. Many other models are posting record monthly Canadian numbers for May. We have definitely reached a tipping point here in Ontario thanks to Tesla.
We spoke to the MTO today and they confirmed they are continuing to process rebates although they are way behind due to the number of recent applications. She advised the directive from Doug Ford yesterday does not affect the program at this point. There would have to be an official announcement specific to the EHVIP program.

I believe I was one of the first to take delivery and file the application. Took delivery May 19th and filed the paperwork on the 20th. Have heard nothing yet (other than the automated reply e-mail).
I will update here as soon as I get the rebate.

I submitted my application on May 24th. Hopfully ill hear back soon too
I submitted a week or so after that but am estimating a mid-Aug timeline for the rebate based on their backlog.

I don't believe this includes the green vehicle and charger programs (yet) - the list of cancelled incentives is here - https://www.greenon.ca/
This is all fine for us. While this program is not the EV rebate program, it's funded from the same cap & trade revenues. So when he shuts us down, it'll follow the same parameters. Note --
So in short, all submitted claims will be fine. Anyone who hasn't yet taken delivery should be very, very nervous. he gave till end of September here, I'd expect something similar for the EV programs.

It looks more like gave to the end of August to spend the money, and then to the end of September to turn the paperwork in. So if it is the same you would want to take delivery before September.
