🚗🔌 With 2025 approaching, there may be changes coming to electric vehicle rebates in Canada. Nine of the Canadian provinces and territories currently offer EV purchase incentives, but several are set to expire next year.

💵 The current federal rebate of $5000 is offered on the purchase of a new battery-electric vehicle. However, as of October 1, 2024 only vehicles manufactured in Canada, or in a country with a free trade agreement with Canada, are eligible. This current program is set to expire March 31, 2025 📆

🚫 No changes have been announced to provincial rebates in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick or Prince Edward Island.

👀 Keep an eye on this space for electric vehicle incentive updates.

Get the most out of your electric vehicle in the winter with these quick tips 👍

🔌 Precondition Your Vehicle: Preconditioning will warm up your vehicle’s battery, defrost your windows and heat up your cabin before you hit the road. For best efficiency, pre-condition while plugged in to avoid pulling energy from your vehicle’s battery.

🌡️ Use Heated Seats & Steering Wheel: Utilizing these features will keep you warm and toasty and is more efficient than blasting your HVAC system in the vehicle.

🛞 Tire Pressure: Like all vehicles, your EV will be more efficient if you maintain proper tire pressure. Check your tire pressure regularly to maximize your range.

🪫 Charge for Conditions: Like traditional vehicles, electric vehicles aren’t as efficient in the cold. Make sure you charge for conditions. If it’s bitterly cold out, put a bit more juice in your vehicle’s battery before you hit the road.

🌧️ Drive for Conditions: Ease up on the accelerator when driving in colder temperatures. Your vehicle’s battery range will thank you.

🚍 🎒 Researchers in Atlantic Canada are urging provinces to transition to electric school buses to reduce the health risks to students caused by emissions.

🚌💨 Atlantic Canada currently has 3,900 combustable engine buses on the road, transporting over 200,000 students daily. Researchers estimate that roughly $126 million is spent in the region on health issues related to traffic emissions every year.

⚡ While the transition to electric buses has started in Atlantic Canada, there are only 129 in operation in PEI and New Brunswick. Nova Scotia and Newfoundland have no electric buses in operation at this time.

🚗🔌 A new Clean Energy Canada report finds that electric vehicles are the biggest cost saver for Canadian households.

💵 Despite the up front cost of an electric vehicle, EV owners save up to $3000 a year compared to driving a gas powered vehicle. This comes from a combination of gas savings, less vehicle maintenance and electric vehicle rebates and incentives.
