How To Save $5,000 On Your Next Car Purchase

How To Save $5,000 On Your Next Car Purchase

There are many reasons why it is a good idea to purchase an electric vehicle. There are many benefits to purchasing an EV and hybrid vehicle, including reducing your carbon footprint and saving money at the pumps. And thanks to Canada's zero emissions incentive program, there is now one more reason for Canadians to buy a lower emissions vehicle.

What is Canada's Zero Emissions Incentive Program?

In order to help reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions that are caused primarily by the automotive industry, the Canadian government has decided to offer cash incentives to anyone who leases or purchases an electric vehicle. 

Many people think that electric vehicles are the way to go if you are looking to save a little money. And the way fuel prices continue to rise, they are right. Fortunately, there has never been a better time to purchase or lease an electric vehicle. Thanks to Canada's new EV incentive program, you can save even more when you choose to purchase or lease a zero emissions vehicle (ZEV).

The Incentive for Zero Emission Vehicle Program (iZEV) has broken up the eligible vehicles into two categories. Vehicles that are powered by a hydrogen fuel cell, powered completely by a battery, or have a long-range plug-in hybrid powertrain are in one category together and offer a $5,000 incentive. A shorter-range plug-in hybrid that has a battery of at 15kWh is in the other category and offers a $2,500 incentive.

What Vehicles are Eligible for the iZEV Program?

In order to be eligible for the incentive program, you must be the first owner of the vehicle. If you are leasing the vehicle, you can also receive the incentive. However, only people who are leasing an eligible vehicle for 48 months will be able to receive the full amount of the cash incentive.   

Some of the other criteria that a vehicle must meet in order to be eligible for the incentive include:

  • Must have less than 10,000 km on the odometer 
  • Must be in compliance with Canada's safety standards for motor vehicles 
  • Must be a four-wheeled vehicle that has fully functioning wheels 
  • Must be street legal 

 If you are unsure whether or not your vehicle is eligible for the incentive, you can check the iZEV eligibility list.
