![Volkswagen ID.4 Elecric Interior]()
Electric vehicles are not only good for the environment but can be easy on the wallet as
well, particularly with the various rebates and incentives offered to buyers. In British
Columbia, buyers of the 2023 Volkswagen ID.4 can take advantage of both provincial
and federal rebate programs.
Program Overview
- 1. BC Go Electric Incentive Program: This program provides incentives of up to
$4,000 for new battery electric vehicles. The amount varies based on the
vehicle's battery capacity, to encourage the purchase of EVs with longer range.
Moreover, the buyers income plays a role in the available rebates offered. More
on that in a second. - 2. Federal iZEV Program: This Canada-wide program offers up to $5,000 off the
purchase price of new battery electric vehicles, with the amount depending on
the vehicle's range and number of seats. Who is Eligible
To qualify for these programs, applicants must be a resident of B.C., hold a valid B.C.
driver's license, and meet certain income requirements. Below is an overview of the
rebates based on income.
Individual income
(gross annual income) | Rebate for plug-in hybrids
| Rebate for battery electric and
long-range plug-in hybrids |
| Less than $80,000 | $2,000 | $4,000 |
| $80,001 $90,000 | $1,000 | $2,000 |
| $90,001 $100,000 | $500 | $1,000 |
| $100,001 and above | No rebate | No rebate |
For the Federal iZEV program, there is no income consideration. So, if you make $75,000
per year in BC and opt for a new ID.4, you will get the full $9,000 rebate ($4,000 from BC
and $5,000 from Canada). If your income is over $100,000, then you will only get the
$5,000 rebate from Canada.
How is Incentive Applied?
BC and iZEV incentives are applied at the time of purchase, reducing the price of the
vehicle after taxes as if you put a down payment on the vehicle. Not that buyers must
apply for the rebate before their purchase, and approval can take up to three weeks.
