People and businesses in B.C. can get rebates on eligible electric cars, trucks, vans and SUVs.
As of March 12, 2025, Tesla vehicles are not eligible for any CleanBC rebates. If you purchased or have received pre-approval for your Tesla before March 12, 2025, it can still qualify for rebates and will be processed as normal.
Electric vehicles (EVs) can also be called zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). A ZEV is a vehicle that has the potential to produce no tailpipe emissions. They can still have a conventional internal combustion engine but must also be able to operate without using it.
These categories are different members of the EV family:
BEV – Battery-electric vehicle | Powered 100% by electric batteries |
PHEV – Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle | Has an electric motor as well as a gasoline engine |
ER-EV – Extended-range electric vehicle | Has an electric motor and a battery that is recharged by a combination of electricity and gas |
FCEV – Fuel-cell electric vehicle | 100% powered by hydrogen |
Regular hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) that do not plug-in are not considered ZEVs or EVs.
* Automakers provide a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) when they apply to make their vehicles eligible for rebates. MSRPs listed do not include any fees that are part of the sale of a vehicle. They also do not include the cost of any optional accessories. Vehicle prices change often. Refer to automaker or dealer website for up-to-date prices. Vehicle information is about the most recent model listed. Other model years may vary.
