CVMA statement on the elimination of British Columbia’s electric vehicle purchase incentive

May 1, 2025 STATEMENT

Statement by Brian Kingston, President & CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association:

“British Columbia is eliminating it’s consumer purchase incentive, the Go Electric Passenger Vehicle Rebate Program, while mandating increasingly unrealistic zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) sales targets. The province has the most aggressive ZEV mandate in North America, requiring 90% ZEV sales by 2030. 

The government must eliminate the ZEV mandate before serious damage is done to the provincial economy.”
