Residents, businesses, non-profit organizations and local government organizations leasing or buying a new EV in B.C. are eligible for up to $3,000 off the after-tax vehicle price, thanks to the government of B.C.’s CleanBC Go Electric program.

MJR Electrical’s mission is to innovate the electrical industry, help reduce BC carbon emissions, and create a positive environment for customer fulfilment at a fair price. Our mission to accomplish this is to develop a partnership platform that will create a motivated team and outstanding customer experience while reducing British Columbia’s carbon emissions and innovate the electrical industry.

Our team specializes in any small commercial or residential jobs, located all mainly in the Vancouver and Okanagan area of British Columbia. We have a determined vision to reduce carbon emissions through avenues like solar and LED lighting. We see the demand and potential to provide charging stations for EVs, as well as information for electric vehicle rebates, or EV incentives.

Here’s the breakdown of the incentive amounts for the purchase or lease of each type, as of November 2021:

• $3,000 for purchase or lease of a new battery electric vehicle (BEV/EV).
• $1,500 for purchase or lease of a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).
• $3,000 for purchase or lease of a hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle (FCEV).

The dealership will handle all the paperwork for you. If you purchase an eligible vehicle, you’ll receive the rebate at the point of sale.

Which vehicles qualify for the up-to-$3,000 electric vehicle rebates?

The BC Ministry of Energy and Mines has established incentive amounts based on type and battery capacity. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs or EVs), fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) with an range of 85 km or greater are eligible for the full incentive amount up to $3,000, while plug-in hybrids with an range of less than 85 km are eligible for electric vehicle rebates up to $1,500.

There are additional incentives for purchasing an electric vehicle in Canada.

Vehicles need to have a base model MSRP of $45,000 or less, with higher values qualifying when the vehicle has more than seven seats.
