Rebates and Incentives
EV Incentives = Affordability
Public and private incentive programs help make it easier to afford an electric vehicle (EV).

Insurance Savings
Some car insurance providers offer discounts for electric vehicles, making it even more affordable to own one. For example, BCAA Optional Car Insurance provides 5% in savings through its Eco-Friendly Vehicle Discount. Learn more at bcaa.com/optionalcar.
