EV Rebate Applications Under iZEV Program Hit New Peak in August 2024
The Canadian federal government's iZEV program received a record number of applications for EV rebates in August 2024.
Demand for zero-emission vehicles peaks, driven by Quebec
In August, the rise in applications for zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) rebates was largely fueled by strong demand in Quebec. The federal “Incentives for Zero Emission Vehicles” (iZEV) program recorded a total of 20,801 applications, according to Transport Canada data. Quebec, with about 25 percent of Canada’s population, accounted for 60 percent of applications.
Most popular EV model is… from GM
Chevrolet dealers submitted 1,853 rebate applications in August for the Equinox EV, which arrived at dealerships this spring. That put it ahead of the Tesla Model 3, which garnered 1,833 applications.
This marks the first time this year that a non-Tesla model has taken first place in the BEV category.
