Some well-known models get nothing from the federal program because they aren't on the federal list and cost more than $50,000. That includes the Hyundai IONIQ 5 in the Preferred RWD Long Range trim, Kia's EV9 Light RWD, Honda's Prologue EX AWD, a BMW i4 eDrive40 Gran Coupe, the Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor, and Cadillac's LYRIQ 4dr Luxury.
Nor is the 2027 Tesla Model 3 Premium RWD on the federal list, so it gets no federal rebate. Only one Tesla made it: the 2026 Tesla Model Y RWD, at $49,990 before the rebate and $44,990 after.

EV Charger Rebate in Saskatchewan
If you drive an EV in Saskatchewan, you pay a $300 yearly road use charge. It went up from $150 on June 1, 2025, and starting January 1, 2027 it moves with inflation. You can read the full details from the Saskatchewan government.
What Saskatchewan Buyers Need to Know About the Federal Rebate?
This rebate comes from the Electric Vehicle Affordability Program, which Transport Canada runs. It started February 16, 2026 and ends March 31, 2031. You can read the full details on the Transport Canada program page.
A car has to meet all of these conditions:
- The final transaction value, which is the price you actually agree to, can't be more than $50,000. Canadian-built cars have no cap.
- It has to be built in Canada or in a country that has a free-trade deal with Canada.
- It has to be new, though a demonstrator that has travelled less than 10,000 km is fine.
- It has to weigh under 8,500 pounds and be able to drive on the highway.
- It has to be all-electric, or a hybrid you can plug in. Hybrids that can't be plugged in get nothing.
What you get hinges on when the dealer files the eligibility paperwork, not the model year and not the day the car is handed over.
How the Rebate Works at the Dealership
You don't file anything yourself. The dealer confirms that you and the car both qualify, subtracts the rebate from the price when you buy or lease, then recovers the money from Transport Canada. Saskatchewan has no provincial form.
Each person can claim one rebate during a five-year stretch, while a business or organization gets as many as ten.
What You Get Each Year
- 2026: $5,000 for a fully electric car, $2,500 for a plug-in hybrid
- 2027: $4,000 for fully electric, $2,000 for a plug-in hybrid
- 2028: $3,000 for fully electric, $1,500 for a plug-in hybrid
- 2029: $3,000 for fully electric, $1,500 for a plug-in hybrid
- 2030: $2,000 for fully electric, $1,000 for a plug-in hybrid
- 2031: $2,000 for fully electric, $1,000 for a plug-in hybrid
Canada has no federal EV tax credit. The only federal help is this rebate, applied when you buy the car.
Leasing an EV in Saskatchewan
The longer the lease, the more of the rebate you keep. In 2026, here is what you keep on each lease length:
- 48 months or more: the full rebate, $5,000 on a fully electric car, $2,500 on a plug-in hybrid
- 36 months: three quarters, $3,750 on a fully electric car, $1,875 on a plug-in hybrid
- 24 months: half, $2,500 on a fully electric car, $1,250 on a plug-in hybrid
- 12 months: a quarter, $1,250 on a fully electric car, $625 on a plug-in hybrid
Home Charger Rebates in Saskatchewan
There's no home charger rebate from the province or a utility in Saskatchewan right now.
Earlier Federal Program
Before this one came iZEV, which paid up to $5,000. Its funding ran dry and the program paused on January 10, 2025, then closed for good on March 31, 2025. EVAP took its place, funded at $2.275 billion in all, of which $1.92 billion remained as of October 1, 2026.
Common Questions
Does Tesla qualify for the EV rebate in Saskatchewan?
One Tesla does: the 2026 Tesla Model Y RWD lists at $49,990, just under the $50,000 cap, so it comes to $44,990 in Saskatchewan after the federal $5,000. The Model 3 is not on Transport Canada's list, so it earns nothing.
