Electric Vehicle Rebates

As of October 1, 2024, only zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) made in Canada or in countries with which Canada has a free-trade agreement, are eligible under the Plug-In NB Rebate Program.  For ZEVs manufactured in a country with which Canada doesn’t have a free trade agreement, they may be eligible if they already are in Canada or are in transit to Canada before October 1, 2024.

For the purposes of eligibility, “in transit" shall be defined as goods destined for Canada that are under the custody and control of a carrier.

If you are looking to lease or purchase a new zero-emission vehicle and would like to know whether it is eligible for a a rebate with the Plug-In NB Program, please consult the list of eligible vehicles here. You can search items on the list using the search function, including by fuel type.
