vehicle tax credits and charging station incentives
quebec eV rebate for new vehicle
Effective July 1 2022, The Quebec provincial government offers individuals, businesses, organizations and Québec municipalities a rebate of up to $7,000 on the purchase or lease of a new, eligible electric vehicle. It was originally $8,000. The list of eligible models and the rebates associated with each model vary for each program, and also depend on the vehicle’s model-year. It is therefore important to check the list of eligible vehicles on the website of each rebate program. The rebate is instantaneously applied at the dealership.
quebec eV rebate for used vehicle
Québec is offering a purchase rebate to individuals, businesses, organizations and municipalities in Québec wishing to acquire all-electric used vehicles. Effective July 1, 2022, the rebate for a used electric vehicle will be $3,500. The new rebate amount will apply to eligible used electric vehicles registered on or after July 1, 2022.
The previous rebate amount, which was $4,000, will be granted if the used vehicle is registered in your name by June 30, 2022. It is the vehicle registration date that is used to determine the rebate. The rebate granted for a used vehicle is calculated to be equal to 50% of the rebate that would be offered under the Roulez vert program for the same model of vehicle were it purchased new.
Only one rebate can be attributed per vehicle under the program and the vehicle must remain registered in Québec for at least 12 months if it is acquired for personal use and for at least 36 months if it is purchased for a vehicle fleet (three or more vehicles). The vehicle must not have been subsidized new, only certain models and years comply.

The Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) Program and tax write-offs for businesses are helping to make it more affordable.

Before including a car on the list of eligible vehicles, Transport Canada has reviewed an application from the automaker and has found that the vehicle meets the iZEV Program requirements. Namely, that the vehicle is:
A passenger car, where the base model Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is less than $55,000; and higher priced trims of these vehicles, up to a maximum MSRP of $65,000, will also be eligible for purchase incentives.
