Clean Energy Canada supports this.
In terms of making sure that the iZEV program and the incentive money is best used and reaching a broad range of Canadians, opening up this incentive program to used vehicles is going to get at the majority of Canadians. That's what lower- and middle-income Canadians can afford.
I, for one, can't afford a new vehicle, but that doesn't mean I don't want to go electric. To use our government and taxpayer dollars most prudently and reach the most price-sensitive consumers, for whom those extra few thousand dollars can make the difference in their decision between an ICE vehicle or an EV, pursuing a used vehicle incentive is an effective approach.
