* Ontario * More Rebates on the way

Good news for those in Ontario in the "waiting room"

look like we're going to get more money back from the Ontario government

Minimum will probably be in the $11,000 range Vs. $8,500 and could be as much as $14,000 depending on the battery size criteria.

Good news for me since my 2017 is on order

More details are starting to emerge:

http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/vehicles/electric/modernized-evip-faq.shtml

• increase the current incentive range for electric vehicles from $5,000 - $8,500 to $6,000 - $10,000
• provide incentives linked to battery capacity ranging from 5 to 16 kilowatt-hours
• provide an opportunity to receive an additional $3,000 incentive for vehicles with a battery larger than 16 kilowatt-hours
• provide an additional $1,000 for vehicles with five or more seats
• cap incentives for vehicles priced from $75,000 to $150,000 at $3,000
• vehicles with MSRP over $150,000 not eligible

The Volt qualifies for a rebate of $11,877

I'm not 100% confident in the Volt values listed on the website

all things being equal the 2016 volt should get $1,000 more because it's a 5 seater unlike the 2015, yet the 2015 has the same credit amount.

I think someone at the MTO got a little overexcited to publish and did not double check the figures.

No worries they should be sending you the higher rebate

"If an eligible electric vehicle was purchased/leased between November 10, 2015 and February 9, 2016 with a MSRP less than $75,000 as of the date of purchase/lease, the incentive is based upon the new February 10, 2016 incentive values. Where there is an increase between the old incentive amount and the new incentive amount, the incentive difference will be paid automatically to the EVIP incentive recipient."
