The Incentive programs are administered independently by each Jurisdiction and are subject to cancellation or change. Incentive applied after applicable taxes in Quebec, British Columbia and federally. The amount of the Incentive, its terms and conditions, and its eligibility or application varies by Jurisdiction, model and trim level, MSRP, payment method, term, and any other criteria that may be established by each Jurisdiction. The savings comes in use, by avoiding the pumps and reducing harmful greenhouse gas emissions.^ Federal and provincial electric vehicle incentives (each an "Incentive") each represent a maximum incentive or rebate amount provided by the federal government and the provincial governments of British Columbia and Quebec (each a "Jurisdiction") on eligible vehicles. Plug-in cars typically use lithium-ion batteries instead of rechargeable nickel metal hydride batteries, which are smaller in order to save space, but also cost more. Because of this, a plug-in is generally more expensive than a conventional hybrid because the battery has to have a larger capacity.
A conventional hybrid vehicle also has a battery, but it can’t be charged by plugging it in – instead, the motor charges the battery. Plug-in hybrids are more fuel-efficient, they produce far less pollution, and save hundreds of dollars a year in fuel costs because they have a large battery which can be charged by both the engine and an outlet. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (or PHEV) offers extended electric-only propulsion, combined with the reliability of a backup gasoline engine.ĭrivers can use the electric mode for short trips, and switch to ‘blended’ mode (combined gas/electric) once the battery runs low, or if higher engine performance is needed. Plug-in hybrid cars offer drivers the fuel-efficiency of hybrid cars and the ability to plug in to household electricity when the car is not in use.
