See News Release (June 18, 2010)
The Ontario government has an ambitious electric vehicle vision to have one out of every 20 vehicles driven in Ontario be electrically powered by 2020.
To support this vision, Ontario has announced a number of measures to help individuals, businesses and organizations choose clean and efficient vehicles, and to expand the battery electric vehicle (EV) market for manufacturers.
Effective July 1, 2010, Ontario businesses, individuals and organizations will be eligible for an incentive towards the purchase or lease of a new plug-in hybrid electric or battery electric vehicle.
Purchasers of EVs can also benefit from:
- Green licence plates, giving drivers access to the province’s high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, even with only one person in the vehicle
- Access to public recharging facilities at GO stations and other Ontario government parking lots
