Canadian ZEV sales shot up nearly 50% in February as federal incentives returned

"Boost to Electric Vehicle Sales: Government Launches EVAP Program In a major move to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles, the federal government has launched the Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP) to make eco-friendly cars more accessible to consumers. The program kicked off on February 16, offering a timely incentive to drive sales of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) with a two-week rebate promotion. By providing a much-needed boost to the ZEV market, the EVAP aims to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable transportation options. As the demand for electric vehicles continues to rise, the government's initiative is expected to have a significant impact on the industry's growth and potentially pave the way for a cleaner, greener future for commuters."

The federal government rolled out its Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP) Feb. 16, helping fuel the ZEV market with two weeks of rebates sales.
