Wasn’t Marko’s Tesla eligible for incentives?
I realize now when I said Canada I meant BC.
It was but I bought mine before March 2016 when they introduced the price cap. It was kind of funny getting $5k back on a $110k car to be honest.

Ever felt compelled to find out if your car’s safety features work as advertised?
Some absolute genius thought it would be a great idea to try out his Tesla’s Autopilot Emergency Braking system by driving straight at his own wife.

Are we sure he was testing the system?????

Currently qualifying for the incentive are:
Nissan Leaf (Current model): $36,700
Hyundai Ioniq: $37,500
VW Golf: $36,700
Kia Soul EV: $35,900
Chevy Bolt: $44,800
Not qualifying
Hyundai Kona: $45,600
Kia Niro: Slightly more than Kona
Tesla Model 3: $47,600
I suspect they are hoping that the $45k cutoff will convince the long range EV manufacturers to drop their prices a bit immediately.
If you just have 120V plug ins in your garage is a charger still doable or do you need 240V?

I find it sad that taxpayers are subsidizing purchases of $110,000 cars, to be honest

So hold on, $10k in BC+Fed incentives, plus $6000 for ANY vehicle you bring in for scrap?Yes. Plus $6000 scrap it if you have an old car.
Tax goes on before incentives come off

Yeah the scrapit credits are not a provincial thing I think and very limited in quantity but yes you could conceivably get $16k total offSo hold on, $10k in BC+Fed incentives, plus $6000 for ANY vehicle you bring in for scrap?
Are you a government program?
No, SCRAP-IT is a not-for-profit independent society which relies on private funding, grants and contributions from a variety of sources as well as program partners in order to offer incentives to customers.

Charger that comes with the car will charge but very slowly. Like 10km/hour.
That’s what we use though. Don’t drive much so don’t care it it takes longer to charge.
Proper charger is advised for decent charging speeds (and charging is a bit more efficient)

Well we went from no limit to $77k limit to $45k limit so it’s going in the right direction.
But the $300M allocated is only enough for 60,000 vehicles over 3 years. About 40,000 Zevs sold last year so these will be gone quick.

Can the specialized home chargers be installed on an external wall exposed to the elements?

Yup no problem.Hmmm.

Just need the spare capacity in the service. 240V/40A circuit. Charger will draw about 30A. For purpose of the load calcs a charger is counted as 100% so basically will need 150 or more likely 200A service.

Ok now we’re talking. I wasn’t aware a Leaf and VW EV are sub $40k. At $10k of incentives that starts to even out the playing field.
Yeah, the problem is those are kind of first or 1.5 gen vehicles so range is around 200-250km. That’s fine for EV enthusiasts and early adopters but not gonna cut it for general public where I think 400-500km range is required.
Keeps getting cheaper though

Tesla standard range model 3 MSRP is $47,600 in Canada. I suspect they will find a way to make it $45,000 to allow buyers to qualify for this incentive.
I was thinking this as well.
However, simply adding an option, such as any colour other than the standard black will have you over the $45K threshold, assuming Tesla were to drop the base price to $44,900.
Edit, OK maybe this will be a valid strategy assuming the $45K maximum is base price.

So for the CEVforBC rebates, it's based on MSRP, rather than retail: one would hope that it's the same for the feds, provided that's what Quebec and Ontario want. So I'm sure that manufacturers will figure out a scheme to their respective vehicles below that MSRP and then allow the dealer to mark it up or have other trim levels.

Regarding Tesla, the US/CAD exchange rate could complicate the situation with the dollar heading for 70 cents.
