What is the iZEV Program?
The Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) Program in Canada aims to promote the adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) by offering incentives to eligible consumers, businesses, and organizations.

Through the iZEV Program, individuals, dealerships, and pre-approved carsharing companies can benefit from incentives on eligible ZEV purchases or leases. The program contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector, supporting Canada's commitment to decarbonizing and becoming a global leader in ZEVs. To avail of the incentives, participants need to follow the guidelines set by Transport Canada and ensure their ZEVs meet the program's criteria for eligibility.
Eligible Vehicles and Incentives
