EV Incentives = Affordability

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

Electric Vehicle Rebates in British Columbia

BC’s Go Electric program provides rebates of as much as:

$3,000 for the purchase or lease of a new electric vehicle, including longer-range plug-in hybrids, and $1,500 for the purchase or lease of a shorter-range plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.


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.

Plus, most new cars, including electric vehicles, are equipped with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) safety technology, offering further savings. Learn more at icbc.com/discounts.
