Any update on this? would be interested to hear what happened since I couldn't make it.
 
What do you make of the $77,000 cap?
Seems like its an MRSP cap similar to Ontario. Sigh.

Clark is also set to announce an electric vehicle-price cap of $77,000 in an effort to encourage more British Columbians to buy electric vehicles.
Many electric vehicles are pricey, with one of the lowest-price Tesla electric vehicles currently selling for about US$80,000 while other Tesla models list for about US$130,000.
 
So good news and bad news with the HOV lane access and $77k cap. I guess we want to encourage people to buy electric vehicles, but just not wealthy people since all the taxes they pay, plus the extra 3% PST "luxury" tax on the vehicle, means they deserve no rebate. Got it.

Exactly

Funny thing is how many non rich people buy fully loaded 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. But magically a car that costs the same is some wealth statement
 
I meant the article made it sound like we wouldn't pay more then $77,000, it was worded funny

CBC "Clark is also set to announce an electric vehicle-price cap of $77,000 in an effort to encourage more British Columbians to buy electric vehicles.

Ok form the BC Gov press release

To ensure the funds available for incentives go further and are available for more British Columbians purchasing lower-cost CEVs, the Province has established a vehicle price cap. Effective immediately, any CEV with a manufacturer suggested retail price above $77,000 will not be eligible for a purchase incentive from the CEV program."

CEV are plug in cars both PHEV and full electric.

And this happens to be titled "the innovative clear energy fund". Otherwise know as the ICE fund by the BC Government
