Electric Vehicle Rebate Program
Thereʼs never been a better time to go electric! Save up to $7,500 when purchasing an EV in NL
Are you considering an all-electric vehicle? With our EV Rebate Program, now you can save $2,500 on the purchase or lease of a 100% all-electric vehicle and $1,500 for a plug-in hybrid. That means you can save up to $7,500 when you combine our rebate with current federal incentives for the purchase of a new EV.
Youʼll feel great driving an EV, knowing that you are contributing to a greener future for Newfoundland and Labrador. Youʼll feel even better knowing that the majority of the electricity used to charge your vehicle comes from our provinceʼs clean, renewable energy sources. And, electricity is cleaner and cheaper than gas. A 400 km road trip in your EV would cost less than $10 at todayʼs electricity rates if you charged at home!

Buying an EV between March 15-31, 2023? You may still qualify for a rebate!
If you buy an eligible electric vehicle with a final bill of sale or lease contract showing a purchase date between March 15 and March 31, 2023, you may still qualify for a rebate (if available rebates and program funding have not been depleted). Contact us at EVRebate@nlh.nl.ca before March 15, 2023 if possible, to discuss your potential rebate. Please note that no rebates will be issued after March 31, 2023, for vehicles purchased before that date. Decisions regarding future program funding beyond that date are at the discretion of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador; further details will be made available in future should the program continue.

*Battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) are powered by motors that draw electricity from on-board storage batteries. You plug in your BEV to recharge it. BEVs don’t produce emissions from the tailpipe. This means they can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other pollutants that form smog. If the source of the vehicle’s electricity is clean (such as solar or hydro-electric power) the vehicle will have no overall GHG emissions. For a list of current approved PHEVs and BEVs, visit the Natural Resources Canada 2023 Fuel Consumption Guide.
**This rebate is being offered as part of the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Climate Change Action Plan. Eligible applicants must be a resident of Newfoundland and Labrador, a business, non-profit organization, or municipality in the province that is connected to the island interconnected grid or the Labrador interconnected electricity grid.
***For a vehicle to be considered new, it must be constructed entirely from new parts that have not been the subject of a retail sale and have less than 10,000 km.
