CVMA statement on the Manitoba Electric Vehicle Rebate program
Statement by Brian Kingston, President & CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association:
“We welcome the launch of Manitoba’s new electric vehicle (EV) rebate program. Achieving the Manitoba government’s goal of tripling the number of EVs on the road by 2026 depends on addressing the two key barriers to widespread uptake, affordability and charging infrastructure. The consumer purchase incentive announced today is a good first step in boosting EV adoption across the province”.
