Your dealer can inform you of the amount of the financial assistance that you could obtain for the desired vehicle.

The following steps enable you to personally verify the amount.

• Open the list of eligible new electric vehicles.
• Select the brand and model that interest you.
• Check whether the model year and the model version that you are seeking are eligible.
• The exact amounts of the purchase and leasing rebates are indicated.

If the model, the version, and the model year of the vehicle that you are seeking are not listed, this means that the vehicle is ineligible for the government rebate.

The list of eligible new vehicles is updated regularly based on information provided by automakers on vehicles marketed in Québec.

Only automakers can submit a request to be added to the list.

Maximum limit of the MSRP

For a vehicle to be included on the list of new electric vehicles eligible for the program, its manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) must be less than $65,000.

Several models or versions of vehicles are not included on the list of eligible vehicles. Here are some explanations.

Eligibility of versions and model years

All the versions of an electric vehicle model are not automatically eligible for the program. Each vehicle’s eligibility is determined by the brand, model, version, and model year and each one is analyzed separately.

For example, the front-wheel-drive version of a model may be eligible for the program while the all-wheel-drive version of the same model is not. Basic components such as the motorisation or battery capacity are not considered as options and their price is added to the MSRP to determine a vehicle’s eligibility.

Moreover, the eligibility of a version can vary from one model year to the next. 

The list of eligible new vehicles gives details of all the eligible versions for each model year.

Battery capacity

An electric vehicle’s battery capacity is considered to establish whether the vehicle is eligible.

• For a vehicle to be eligible, the battery must have a capacity of at least 8 kilowatt-hours (kWh).
• In the case of rechargeable hybrid vehicles, the battery must have a capacity of at least 15 kWh to obtain a $5,000 rebate. The rebate for batteries with a capacity between 8 kWh and 15 kWh is $2,500.
