You’ve finally decided to make the switch to a zero-emissions vehicle (ZEV)?
Great – what are the models that you can already buy in Canada in 2023? We are here to help!
For the past years, the electric car market has exploded with many car makers offering several different models. The Canadian government is aiming to reach 100% zero emissions on all new vehicles by 2035. In order to reach this target, the federal government provides tax incentives for purchase or lease of up to CAD $5000 per vehicle. Also provinces are offering their own home charging station rebate programs.
With the wide array of vehicles to choose from coupled with government tax incentives, the EV market has gained popularity with many more households having interests in purchasing Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV).
