Key rules
One incentive per person
The federal EVAP rebate can only be claimed once per person across the lifetime of the program — not once per vehicle.
Transaction value caps
The full $5,000 applies to vehicles under $50,000. A reduced amount applies between $50,000–$65,000. No rebate is available above $65,000.
Applied at the dealership
The federal rebate is deducted at the point of sale. No separate claim or application is required after purchase.
2026 has the highest federal amount
The federal rebate drops from $5,000 to $4,000 in 2027. Some provincial programs are also decreasing through 2025–2026.
