EV incentives returning

from BC Today

The federal government is scrapping electric vehicle mandates, but it's renewing consumer rebates for electric vehicles. EV buyers can qualify for an up to $5,000 rebate on battery electric and up to $2,500 on plug-in hybrid cars. Bob Porter from the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association and Joanna Kyriazis from Clean Energy Canada join the show to take questions on whether these new incentives will get more people buying EVs and if this will have an impact on climate change.
