Federal Pause on Zero-Emission Vehicle Incentives

Transport Canada announced a pause in the Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles Program, effective March 31, 2025, or when funding is exhausted. Since its inception, the program has supported over 546,000 vehicle purchases, boosting the ZEV market share from 3.1% in 2019 to 14.2% in 2024. While incentives for zero-emission trucks under the iMHZEV Program will continue, the pause may affect the uptake of ZEVs in Canada, influencing market dynamics and production strategies for manufacturers.
