Federal EV rebate: $5,000 for Canadian-made electric cars

The federal government has launched a new $2.3-billion electric vehicle affordability program, offering rebates of up to $5,000 for fully electric vehicles and $2,500 for plug-in hybrids. CTV’s Austin Lee reports on Linamar in Guelph, Ont., where Industry Minister Mélanie Joly announced the plan, which replaces the previous EV sales mandate. To qualify, vehicles must be priced under $50,000—unless they are made in Canada, which are exempt from the cap. Chinese-made EVs are excluded from the rebate entirely.
