Скачать или смотреть Canada reinstates $5,000 EV rebate, removes sales mandate

...Source: https://driveteslacanada.ca/?p=113762 Transcript: Tesla Drive Canada is reporting that Canada is rolling out major changes to its electric vehicle policies. Starting February 16, federal EV rebates are coming back with $2.3 billion in funding over five years. Buyers can get up to $5,000 off battery electric vehicles and up to $2,500 off plug-in hybrid models — but only if the vehicle costs under $50,000 and is made in a country with a free trade agreement with Canada. That rules out most Chinese models, even though some have recently entered the market.

There are exceptions: Canadian-built models like the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, Honda CR-V Hybrid, and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid are not subject to the price cap.

As for Tesla, only the Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive might qualify under the new rules, but the federal government hasn’t confirmed its inclusion yet.

In a big pivot, Canada is also ditching its EV sales mandate. Instead of requiring electric vehicles to dominate new car sales by a fixed date, the government is tightening emissions standards through 2032. They still expect EVs to make up about 75% of new sales by 2035.

An additional $1.5 billion will also go toward expanding Canada’s national EV charging network.
