Electric vehicles platforms

Here's what the 2025 Ontario election parties are promising.

PC

  • Continue to invest in the electric vehicle and battery auto pact, even if the US pulls back on its investments

    "Maintaining Ontario’s financial contributions to the electric vehicle and battery auto pact, which has attracted more than $45 billion in global investments in the province, including by Stellantis and LG Energy Solutions in Windsor and Volkswagen in St Thomas. A re-elected PC government would continue to make these investments regardless of any decision by the U.S. on the future of the IRA.

    Advocating that the federal government do the same, whoever is in office." — ontariopc.ca, retrieved 2025-02-19

ONDP

  • Provide income-tested electric vehicle rebates, with some electric vehicles produced overseas exempted from incentives

    "We will help Ontario drivers make the switch to EVs to save money and support Ontario’s auto sector, with income-tested rebates towards the purchase of an eligible new or used battery-electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid. Electric Vehicles produced overseas will be exempt from incentives where corporate leadership are hell-bent on destroying the Canadian economy." — On Your Side, retrieved 2025-02-22

  • Reintroduce electric vehicle-readiness building code requirements

    "We’ll ensure that new homes are future-proofed for the energy transition with low-cost EV-ready infrastructure, so that homeowners with garages can install electric vehicle chargers cheaply when they choose to make the switch, instead of paying thousands of dollars in retrofitting costs." — On Your Side, retrieved 2025-02-22

  • Install electric vehicle charging infrastructure
We don't have any Liberal policies on Electric vehicles.

Green

  • Provide a $7,500 clean vehicle rebate for new EVs under $75,000
  • Expand the EV charging network across the province
  • Provide a $3,000 clean vehicle rebate on pre-owned EVs and new E-Bikes
  • Set up a provincial zero-emission vehicle standard matching those in BC and Quebec to increase supplies of EVs

    "Increase supply of EVs in Ontar- io by establishing a provincial Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) standard that matches those in BC and Quebec" — Our Plan for Fairness, retrieved 2025-02-22

  • Amend the building code so all new homes and multi-residential buildings are EV charging ready
