Here are all the EVs that qualify for Canada’s Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) Program
Canadians gather! If you’re looking to go electric, there is an expansive program at your disposal offering varying levels of incentives for EV purchases and leases in Canada. We’ve compiled everything you need to know below, alongside an ever-growing list of vehicles that qualify.

EV incentives remain available in Canada
As a US-born citizen, much of my coverage of incentives in the past has pertained to my native country. However, a reader recently pointed out that a Canada-centric version of my long-running list of available US tax incentives would be welcomed by consumers up north as well.
My deepest apologies, Canada – I had no intention of leaving you in the dark for this long. As many of you are probably aware, there are purchase incentives for EVs available to consumers in Canada that are currently much more abundant (and easier to qualify for) than current US credits.
Good on you, Canada, and all the more reason to take advantage of the nation’s Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) Program. Below, you will find the details of the incentive program itself, how a given vehicle can or cannot qualify, and how you yourself can take advantage of the deals for going electric.
Lastly, we have compiled the current and up-to-date list of vehicles that qualify for purchase incentives per Transport Canada. Let’s begin with the program itself.
How the Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) Program works
Like all government-regulated programs, there is a lot of legal jargon and red tape to navigate through. Sometimes you just want to know what qualifies and what doesn’t.
Luckily for consumers up north, Canada’s iZEV program is relatively straightforward, and the government does a wonderful job of explaining it. Per Transport Canada:
The iZEV Program offers point-of-sale incentives for consumers (subject to funding availability) who buy or lease a ZEV vehicle. Only the vehicles listed on our website are eligible for an incentive when they’re purchased or leased for at least 12 months, on or after the eligibility date.
What types of EV incentives are available in Canada?
In total, there are three different types of electric vehicles that currently qualify for some level of incentives in Canada. From there, plug-in hybrids are divided one step further based on the all-electric range their batteries can deliver. Here’s how the incentive amounts currently breakdown:
- Battery-electric (BEV), hydrogen fuel cell (FCEV), and longer-range plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) are eligible for up to $5,000 CAD.
- To qualify as “longer range plug-ins,” the vehicles must have an electric range equal to or greater than 50 km.
- Shorter-range plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are eligible for up to $2,500 CAD.
- Shorter-range plug-in vehicles have an electric range under 50 kilometers.
What electric vehicles qualify for incentives in Canada?
In Canada, a slew of all-electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles qualify for at least some amount of incentives as long as they meet the qualifications laid out by Transport Canada. For example, each vehicle must meet all of the country’s Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Additionally, each qualifying vehicle must be built for driving on public streets, roads, and highways (no low-speed vehicles). The vehicle must also have at least four functioning wheels. Sorry, Aptera.
Qualifying vehicle types are split into two separate groups, which qualify for their own respective purchase incentives based on price:
- A passenger car, where the base model manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) is less than $55,000 CAD.
- Higher-priced trims of those EVs may also qualify for purchase incentives in Canada for a maximum MSRP of $65,000 CAD.
- A station wagon, pickup truck (light truck), SUV, minivan, van, or special purpose vehicle, where the base model MSRP is less than $60,000 CAD.
- Higher-priced trims of these vehicles are also eligible for purchase incentives for MSRPs up to $70,000 CAD maximum.
Per Transport Canada, here are other terms zero-emission vehicles must follow as part of the incentive program:
- Only new vehicles are eligible for the federal incentive (EVs that haven’t been plated before).
- Eligible ZEVs that were previously demo vehicles used for test drives are considered new vehicles and are eligible for the incentive as long as the odometer reads less than 10,000 kilometers.
- Incentives can be applied to eligible ZEVs leased for at least 12 months but will be prorated based on any lease length of less than 48 months.
- For example, a 48-month lease is eligible for the full incentive, while a vehicle with a 24-month lease will be eligible for half the incentive. (See table below.)
- Vehicles are still eligible for the incentive even if delivery, freight, and other fees (like exterior color, add-ons, accessories, and packages) push the actual purchase price over these set limits.
- As long as a given EV’s make, model, trim and year appears on Transport Canada’s list of eligible vehicles, an incentive can be awarded.
We have compiled those qualifying lists for you below.

Plenty of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) also qualify
Whereas battery EVs all qualify for up to $5,000 in incentives in Canada, PHEVs are a bit trickier and vary in eligible amounts based on a number of factors, including the make, model, and trim. Still, many models qualify for at least some level of purchase incentives and are worth checking.

FAQ
The Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) Program is continuing until March 31, 2025 (or until available funding is exhausted).
That number varies based on a number of factors. Simply put, any vehicle that meets Canada’s criteria outlined above can qualify for at least $625 and can go as high as $5,000.
The incentive is applied at the point of sale by the dealership when you purchase your brand-new EV. It will appear directly on the bill of sale or lease agreement on eligible ZEVs on, or after, the eligibility date.
Note: The dealer must apply taxes and fees to the purchase or lease before applying the incentive and must submit the proper documentation to be reimbursed for the incentive provided to you, the consumer.
Yes. In addition to the federal incentive program, your EV purchase may also qualify for any additional incentives offered in your given province or territory in Canada.
No. It must be one or the other. Budget 2019 provided a separate tax write-off for zero-emission vehicles to support business adoption. For more information on tax write-offs for electric vehicles, contact the Canada Revenue Agency at 1-800-959-5525.
Depends. Canadian individuals are eligible for one incentive under this program per calendar year. Businesses or provincial/territorial and municipal governments operating fleets are eligible for up to 10 incentives under the iZEV program per calendar year.
Great question. Currently, more electric vehicles in Canada qualify for incentives, but it’s a lot of the same vehicles. Qualifying terms also vary with neighbors to the south following the signing of the Inflation Reduction Act by President Biden in the summer of 2022.

Turning cheap daytime solar into electricity you can actually use at night just got a lot cheaper. A new analysis from energy think tank Ember shows that utility-scale battery storage costs have fallen to $65 per megawatt-hour (MWh) as of October 2025 in markets outside China and the US. At that level, pairing solar with batteries to deliver power when it’s needed is now economically viable.
Battery storage costs have fallen dramatically over the past two years, and the decline continues. Following a steep decline in 2024, Ember’s analysis indicates that prices continued to fall sharply again in 2025.
The findings are based on real-world data from recent battery and solar-plus-storage auctions in Italy, Saudi Arabia, and India, as well as interviews with active developers across global markets.
According to Ember, the cost of a whole, grid-connected utility-scale battery storage system for long-duration projects (four hours or more) is now about $125 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) as of October 2025. That figure applies to projects outside China and the US. Core battery equipment delivered from China costs around $75/kWh, while installation and grid connection typically add another $50/kWh.
Those lower upfront costs have pushed down the levelized cost of storage (LCOS) to just $65/MWh. Ember’s calculation reflects real-world assumptions around financing costs, system lifetime, efficiency, and battery degradation.
Cheaper hardware isn’t the only reason storage costs are falling. Longer battery lifetimes, higher efficiencies, and lower financing costs, helped by clearer revenue models such as auctions, have all contributed to the sharp drop in LCOS. Ember has published a live calculator alongside the report, allowing users to estimate LCOS using their own assumptions.
Why this matters comes down to how solar is actually used. Most solar power is generated during the day, so only a portion needs to be stored to make it dispatchable. Ember estimates that if half of daytime solar generation is shifted to nighttime, the $65/MWh storage cost adds about $33/MWh to the cost of solar electricity.
With the global average price of solar at $43/MWh in 2024, adding storage would bring the total cost to about $76/MWh, delivering power in a way that better matches real demand.
As Ember global electricity analyst Kostantsa Rangelova put it, after a 40% drop in battery equipment costs in 2024, the industry is now on track for another major fall in 2025. The economics of battery storage, she said, are “unrecognizable,” and the industry is still adjusting to this new reality.
“Solar is no longer just cheap daytime electricity; now it’s anytime dispatchable electricity. This is a game-changer for countries with fast-growing demand and strong solar resources,” Rangelova added.
Together, solar and battery storage are increasingly emerging as a scalable, secure, and affordable foundation for future power systems.

Nissan is reviving the Xterra, the rugged SUV that once attracted a cult-like following, but this time it will be “electrified.”
The Nissan Xterra will be electrified, but by how much?
Earlier this year, Nissan offered a sneak peek of its upcoming lineup in a shadowy image previewing several new vehicles.
Alongside the new 2026 LEAF, a plug-in hybrid Rogue, updated Pathfinder, and Sentra, Nissan teased a new electric “adventure-focused SUV,” which we later learned will be badged the Xterra.
The rugged electric SUV appeared to have a more upright, boxy stance than the original model. The previous Xterra attracted a cult-like following as a cheaper off-road alternative to the Toyota 4Runner, Ford Bronco, and Jeep Wrangler.
However, Nissan discontinued it after the 2015 model year as buyers opted for more efficient options like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4.
The new Xterra, but this time “it will have to have electrification,” according to Nissan Americas chief planning officer, Ponz Pandikuthira.
Pandikuthira told MotorTrend that the next-gen Xterra “cannot be ICE only,” but just how electrified it will be remains up in the air. “Is that an EREV? Is that a parallel hybrid system? Is that a plug-in system? That’s not defined yet. That’s all being actively studied right now,” he explained.
Nissan plans to launch a series of new extended-range hybrid (EREV) vehicles based on its e-Power system. The e-Power system uses a gas-powered engine connected to a generator.
The generator feeds energy to the inverter, which charges the battery and electric motor. Since the ICE only charges the battery and does not drive the wheels, it benefits from the instant torque and smooth drive of an EV.
However, it’s still powered by a gas engine at the end of the day. The 2027 Nissan Rogue will be the first e-Power vehicle in the US.
The Xterra could also arrive as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) similar to the 2026 Nissan Rogue. The 2026 Rogue will be Nissan’s first PHEV for the US and is expected to be a key part of its comeback plans.
It will go on sale in early 2026 with an EPA-estimated 36 miles of electric driving range. Combined with the gas engine, the hybrid powertrain provides up to 420 miles of EPA-estimated driving range.
The electrified Xterra will share a body-on-frame platform with the Pathfinder and Frontier, with a V-6 engine, all-wheel drive (AWD), and space for bigger batteries.
According to Pandikuthira, the V-6 will give it an edge over the competition, while the hybrid powertrain will improve efficiency.
The “electrified” Xterra will be built at Nissan’s Canton, Mississippi, plant, starting in 2028. The following year, a luxury Infiniti electric SUV, based on the Vision QXe concept, will join it.
Electrek’s Take
While Nissan is launching new PHEVs, hybrids, and EREVs, it has already pulled one electric SUV, the Ariya, from its US lineup.
For now, the only fully electric vehicle Nissan offers in the US is the 2026 LEAF. Although it was once viewed as a leader in the shift to EVs with the initial LEAF launching in 2010, Nissan has quickly fallen behind and is now scrambling to catch up.
Nissan hopes to plug the gap with a series of gas-power hybrids over the next few years until new all-electric vehicles begin rolling out in 2028.
Even with less efficient hybrid tech, Nissan is still late to the game and will need to keep pace with Toyota, Honda, Ford, Stellantis, and others betting on hybrids in the US.
