State of Charge: BC Green Car Rebate Returns April 2015

Tideland Prius · Feb 27, 2015

The New Car Dealer’s Association of British Columbia confirmed this week that the province will reinstate point of sale rebates for plug-in hybrids, electric vehicles and fuel cell buyers, after funds for the popular program were exhausted last spring.

As before, the NCDA will administer the program, after $7.5 million in funds were allocated for its reintroduction in last week’s provincial budget by BC’s Liberal government, which will provide discounts right at the dealer level for such green vehicles.

Details of the plan are expected to be announced around the Vancouver Auto Show in late March, but it’s expected the rebates will mirror what was offered previously: up to $5,000 for zero-emissions battery electric vehicles or fuel cells, down to $2,500 for plug-in hybrids that use gas but offer some all-electric range. The Chevrolet Volt, a plug-in hybrid with a larger battery that allows for more all-electric range than any other PHEV by far, previously received a rebate of $5,000, versus the $2,500 available to vehicles with much smaller electric range, such as the Toyota Prius Plug-In and Ford’s C-Max and Fusion Energi models.

Nice to see it return, especially since Ontario and Quebec offer up to $8,000 and ~$8,500 respectively for PHEVs and BEVs.

B.C. already has many Level 2 chargers and about a dozen Level 3 (DCFC) chargers and 2 of the 3 Tesla Superchargers in Canada.
