- Incentives for 12-month leases will be adjusted proportionally according to a 48-month lease term. For instance, a 48-month lease qualifies for the complete incentive, whereas a 24-month lease will receive half the incentive amount.
- Individuals are eligible for one incentive.
- Hydrogen fuel cell, battery electric, and longer-range plug-in hybrid vehicles are for up to $5,000 and shorter-range plug-in hybrid vehicles are eligible for up to $2,500.
Infrastructure Changes as a Result:
Manitoba plans to shift gears and put a higher priority on EVs, this means that Manitoba’s EV charging infrastructure will also change. Though most of the current charging stations in Manitoba are in urban areas or along highways, the new Manitoba budget will address this and implement programs to install charging stations in rural and remote areas to prepare for a greener driving future in Manitoba.
