Manitoba Electric Vehicle Rebate Program

Many Manitoba families are looking to make the switch to an electric or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (EV). The Manitoba government is there to help you along the way, with the Manitoba Electric Vehicle Rebate Program to make this goal more achievable and triple the number of EVs on Manitoba roads by 2026.

The Manitoba Electric Vehicle Rebate Program provides rebates of $4,000 on the purchase of a new eligible electric vehicle, $1,000 to $4,000 on leasing an eligible electric vehicle, and $2,500 on the purchase of pre-owned eligible electric vehicles.

Purchasers of eligible EVs, will be able to apply online for the rebate through a streamlined process on the Manitoba Public Insurance website.

To be eligible, vehicles must be purchased or leased from Manitoba dealerships with a maximum manufacturer's suggested retail price (MRSP) of $70,000 for new vehicles or a maximum $70,000 purchase price for used vehicles, with one rebate per vehicle and per owner.

Budget 2025 update: Tesla and EVs manufactured in China purchased after March 19, 2025 are not eligible for the rebate.
