INTRODUCING INCENTIVES
Manitoba’s newly elected New Democratic Party (NDP) government has now tabled its first budget, which includes electric vehicle (EV) incentives of up to $4,000.
This incentive program represents the first time that the province has offered EV rebates. The program will specifically offer a $4,000 rebate for new EV and plug-in electric hybrid (PHEV) purchases. $2,500 will also be given for used vehicles with these powertrains.
The rebate only applies to Manitoba owners after they register their vehicle with Manitoba Public Insurance (MPI). The program also only applies once per vehicle and is only available to a vehicle purchaser or lessee.
The Incentive Program site also notes that qualifying purchases from August 1st, 2023 to March 31st, 2024 are eligible for the rebate. Rebates will also be given to EV purchasers from April 1st, 2024 to March 31st, 2026.
