About the Roulez vert Program

The Roulez vert financial assistance program is offered by the Gouvernement du Québec to encourage the acquisition of electric vehicles.

The Program is open to individuals, companies, organizations and municipalities in Québec.

Provided all the program’s conditions are met, financial assistance is available to help participants with:

• the acquisition of a new electric vehicle;
• the acquisition of a used electric vehicle;
• the acquisition of a new electric pickup truck for businesses (in French only);

The statistical data from the Roulez vert program (in French only) provide a breakdown of the financial assistance granted by the Gouvernement du Québec to support the purchase of electric vehicles since 2012.

The Roulez vert program was temporarily suspended from February 1 to March 31, 2025..

For electric vehicles

To be eligible for financial assistance, the vehicle must be registered while the program is in effect. 

• Only the registration date is considered in determining the amount of financial assistance and program eligibility.
• The date on which the vehicle was ordered or the date of the deposit cannot be considered. 

Vehicles registered between February 1, and March 31, 2025—during the temporary suspension of the program— are not eligible for financial assistance.

During Budget Speech 2024-2025 on March 12, 2024, the Québec government announced a gradual reduction in the amount of financial assistance granted for the purchase of electric vehicles as of January 1, 2025. The program will end on December 31, 2026.

Here is a table summarizing the amounts according to vehicle type and registration date. Please note that only the registration date will be taken into account when determining the amount of financial assistance. The financial assistance amounts will not be continued for people who ordered their vehicle before the scheduled dates of reduced financial assistance or who gave a deposit.

The Gouvernement du Québec may change the conditions of the Roulez vert Program and the amounts of financial assistance.

The Gouvernement du Québec announces the funding for the Roulez vert Program each year in its updates to the Plan pour une économie verte. The Roulez vert Program is financed by the Fonds d’électrification et de changements climatiques.
