Rebate programs changed again — most of what you'll read online is out of date. This page tracks the current programs against the official sources, shows what each is actually worth, and tells you plainly what's ended.
The CleanBC Go Electric passenger-vehicle rebate was paused indefinitely in 2025 and remains paused (official status). Articles still promising "up to $4,000 off an EV in BC" are out of date. Home-energy rebates below are current.
The biggest rebates are income-tiered through the Energy Savings Program. Pick your household size and income to see your level — figures straight from the official table.

No. The CleanBC Go Electric passenger vehicle rebate program was paused indefinitely in 2025 and remains paused — the official Go Electric BC site lists it as currently paused. Much of the content online still cites the old EV rebate amounts; they no longer apply to passenger vehicles.
Your rebate level depends on how many people live in your home and the combined pre-tax income of all adults (plus your property's assessed value). For example, a 4-person household qualifies for Level 1 up to $87,350 income, Level 2 up to $114,647, and Level 3 up to $185,620. Level 3 rebates only apply to ground-oriented homes switching from natural gas, propane or oil heating to an electric heat pump.
For the Energy Savings Program: pre-register on the official portal to get a code (valid 6 months), get quotes from program-registered contractors, install the upgrade — then the contractor receives the rebate directly and you pay the remainder. One application covers all ESP rebates. The upgrade must be installed by a registered contractor to qualify.
