 Incentives Introduced for Electric Vehicles

The Ontario Government has recently announced that Ontario individuals, businesses and organizations that purchase or lease a new plug-in hybrid electric or battery electric vehicle after July 1, 2010, may be eligible for a rebate between $5,000 and $8,500.

The Ontario Government remains committed to its vision to have one out of every 20 vehicles driven in Ontario to be electrically powered by 2020. Part of the government's plan includes green license plates and future access to public recharging facilities.  

Further details and application forms for the electric vehicle rebate are available at Ontario.ca/transportation or (866) 668-8297.
