RENEWABLE REBATES
Nova Scotia Premier Iain Rankin has announced $9.5 million in rebates to help people purchase electric vehicles. According to a news release, the $9.5 million will be used for the rebate program for new and used electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and e-bikes. Rebates will be $3,000 per new vehicle and $2,000 for used vehicles, with $500 for e-bikes.
This will be in addition to the $5,000 federal rebate available for new electric vehicles. “Bold action on climate change is a priority. We know it’s possible to have a cleaner economy that creates jobs, supports a healthy environment and benefits all Nova Scotians,” said Premier Iain Rankin in a news release. Currently, there are nearly 500 electric vehicles registered in Nova Scotia, and more than 100 charging stations across the province.
CHARGING CHANGE
The province will also offer $2,500 for new and used plug-in hybrid vehicles. “There’s an incentive for anyone that wants a cleaner way to transport themselves around the province. It’s the most generous program in all of Canada and the most equitable program in Canada,” he said.
