Information on electric passenger vehicles is available here.
Electric vans are listed after electric pickups. There are many additional startup companies announcing pickups and vans, but it isn't known if or when they will be available in Canada.
We have been asked to provide information on which electric vehicle models are manufactured in the United States to assist those who wish to avoid purchasing those models in the current political climate. The Chevrolet BrightDrop delivery vans are assembled in Canada. All of the other pickups and vans listed below are assembled in the U.S. including the GreenPower (a Canadian company) van and the Mercedes van.
Government Rebates for Pickups
For individuals, businesses and non-profits, there is a Federal Government rebate of $5,000 after tax. (Federal rebates paused until further notice.) That rebate has not been deducted from the MSRP shown on the list below. To qualify, the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the base model must be under $60,000 before delivery charges. More expensive trim models must not exceed $70,000. Details here.
For individuals, there is a BC Government rebate to a maximum of $4,000 for the purchase of a plug-in electric vehicle with an electric range of 85 km or more and a maximum of $2,000 if the range is less. The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) cannot exceed $70,000 for pickups and vans. The maximum rebate is reduced to one-half if individual total income for tax purposes exceeds $80,000. The maximum rebate is reduced to one-quarter if individual total income exceeds $90,000. There is no rebate if individual total income exceeds $100,000. Before purchasing the vehicle, you must apply online for a rebate authorization that is sent to you by email. This can take up to 3 weeks. You should apply before you decide which vehicle to buy. The authorization is good for one year. Individuals can no longer receive a second rebate if they purchase another EV. Details here.
For businesses and non-profits, there ia BC Government rebate of $3,000 for the purchase of a plug-in electric vehicle with an electric range of 85 km or more and $1,500 if the range is less. The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) cannot exceed $70,000 for pickups and vans. It is not necessary to apply in advance. Details here.
Government Rebates for Businesses and Non-profits
For businesses and non-profits using larger cargo vans registered in the Special Use Vehicle Incentive program with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) between 8,500 and 10,000 lbs., including the Ford E-Transit, Mercedes eSprinter and Brightdrop Zevo 400 and 600, the BC Government rebate is $10,000. For heavier cargo vans over 10,000 lbs., the BC Government rebate is $45,939 for the heavy versions of the Brightdrop Zevo 400 and 600, and $49,784 for the GreenPower EV Star Cargo.

Maximum Charge Rate refers to the vehicle's Level 3 DC fast charging capability. How fast the vehicle can charge at a Level 3 charging station or Tesla Supercharger depends on both the station's maximum ability to deliver the charge and the vehicle's maximum ability to receive the charge. The chart shows the latter. The higher the number, the faster the charging time. This is a maximum. The charge rate will decrease as the battery gets closer to full and if the temperature of the battery is not optimum. Information on Level 1 and Level 2 charging is available here.
Range is for a combination of city and highway driving as reported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA rating) or the estimated EPA rating announced by the manufacturer for vehicles not yet available. EPA ratings are averaged for a wide range of environmental conditions. Richmond drivers should achieve increased range due to our ideal environmental conditions for electric vehicles. For highway only driving at higher speeds, there is a detailed discussion of range requirements here.
Manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) is for the base model including freight and destination charges for delivery in Richmond without upgrade options and accessories and before government rebates, dealer discounts and taxes. Note the substantial BC Government rebates for cargo vans used by businesses and non-profits described above.
