Driving Forward with EVAP.
The Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP) provides up to $5,000 in point-of-sale rebates for zero-emission vehicles. Making sustainable transport accessible for every Canadian.
Rebate Amounts for 2026
EVAP incentives are determined by the vehicle's powertrain and battery capacity. Rebates will gradually decrease annually until 2031.
Battery Electric (BEV)
Includes fully electric vehicles and Hydrogen Fuel Cell (FCEV) models with zero tailpipe emissions.
Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV)
Applies to vehicles combining internal combustion engines with plug-in rechargeable batteries.

The 2026 program introduces new standards to ensure affordability and support domestic production.
