Conditions governing the government financial assistance for an electric vehicle

Québec car dealers can offer the government rebate to their clientele when an electric vehicle is purchased. Details of this program are explained in the section entitled Financial assistance for electric vehicles.

This section provides additional information that is useful for automakers.

It is the car dealer’s responsibility to verify if the vehicle that the customer is considering is on the list of electric vehicles eligible for the program before offering the government rebate.

• List of eligible new electric vehicles
• List of eligible used electric vehicles

Vehicle eligibility varies according to the models, versions, and model years.

The lists of eligible vehicles indicate the exact amounts of the applicable rebates.

It is the date on which the vehicle is registered in the customer’s name that is considered to confirm the amount of the rebate granted and the vehicle’s eligibility. The date on which the vehicle was ordered or reserved cannot be considered to establish eligibility for the rebate.

As of November 10, 2025, to determine a vehicle’s eligibility for the Roulez vert program and the amount of the rebate, the prices of the following components will be added to the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP):

• Option packages offered by the manufacturer;
• Add-ons related to an essential component of the vehicle, such as the powertrain or the battery, integrated directly or through software.

For example, a vehicle has an initial MSRP of $64,000.  If an extended-range battery or an option package from the manufacturer worth $6,000 is added, the MSRP considered will be $70,000 to determine the vehicle’s eligibility.

Accessories added by the purchaser, such as roof racks or a trailer hitch, are not taken into account in this calculation.
