Electric Car Sales In Canada Got A Jolt From Federal Rebate Program
Zero-emission vehicles now represent three per cent of all new, light-duty purchases.
The federal government says it wants more Canadians to buy electric vehicles, and their latest effort appears to be working.
Transport Canada says there’s been a 30-per-cent increase in the number of electric vehicles sold and leased in the country this year, thanks in part to a new initiative.
The Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles programwas used in more than 14,000 vehicle purchases, the government says in a Thursday news release. Around three per cent of all new, light-duty vehicles sold in Canada produced zero emissions, up from two per cent in 2018.
The Liberal government says it hopes to see this number increase to 10 per cent by 2025, 30 per cent by 2030 and 100 per cent by 2040
