Rebates for commercial
zero-emission vehicles
Save money at the dealership with point-of-sale rebates. We offer rebates on medium- and heavy-duty (MHD) zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). These rebates support ZEV use in commercial operations.
Overview
We’ve refreshed the Go Electric Rebates program
It was paused in August 2025 so we could make program changes to better meet market and industry needs.
B.C. businesses, Indigenous organizations, local governments and non-profits can apply for rebates. Get pre-approved and buy through an approved seller.

Don’t forget to plan how to charge or fuel your new ZEV, before you get one.
