Nonetheless, this tactic proved problematic. The federal government informed different automobile sellers who really delivered EVs earlier than the tip of this system that they couldn’t get the rebates, which had been already utilized to the client purchases, as Tesla took a lot of the cash for automobiles it seemingly didn’t ship.

Immediately, Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s new transport minister, confirmed that the funds have been frozen till it could possibly examine exactly what occurred with Tesla’s rebates.

Moreover, Freeland confirmed that Tesla will probably be banned from future federal rebates for electrical automobiles. On this case, it has extra to do with the commerce struggle launched by President Trump, whose largest political donor is Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

She stated (by way of the Toronto Star):

No funds will probably be made till we’re assured that the claims are legitimate. I additionally directed my division to alter the eligibility standards for future iZEV applications to make sure that Tesla automobiles is not going to be eligible for incentives as long as the illegitimate and unlawful U.S. tariffs are imposed in opposition to Canada.

The federal authorities is following the identical technique as some provinces. British Columbia has not too long ago banned Tesla merchandise from its EV charger rebate. Nova Scotia simply introduced that it has excluded Tesla from its $2,000 rebate on the buy of a brand new EV.

Quebec simply relaunched its personal EV incentive program in the present day. It is going to come into impact subsequent week, and to this point, Tesla’s Mannequin 3 and Mannequin Y automobiles are nonetheless included within the listing of eligible automobiles.
