Incentives from the provincial and federal governments could help Manitoba catch up to other jurisdictions when it comes to electric vehicles, experts say.

In the provincial budget released last month, the Manitoba NDP government promised rebates for purchasing new and used electric and hybrid vehicles. Manitobans could receive up to $4,000 for purchasing a new electric vehicle and up to $2,500 for purchasing a used EV.

James Hart, with the Manitoba Electric Vehicle Association, says he believes it will prompt more Manitobans to make the step to electric vehicles.Hart has been driving fully-electric vehicles since 2019, and said the major selling point for him was when the federal government introduced its incentive that year, which provided up to $5,000 at the point of sale.

Marc Beghin is the founder of EasyEV, a company that specializes in residential, commercial, and municipal EV charger installations around the province. He welcomes the provincial rebate as well, and says it will help Manitoba catch up to other provinces.
