To be eligible for the program, the car must cost less than $ 45,000, a criterion easily satisfied by the 100% electric Nissan LEAF available from $ 40,698 for the “traditional” LEAF and $ 43,998 for the Nissan LEAF PLUS. While the former is powered by a 40 kWh battery, the latter has an even more powerful 62 kWh battery. That translates to 242 kilometers and 363 kilometers of range, respectively. What's most exciting about this new $ 5,000 rebate is that it can be matched with current provincial rebates. In other words, you can get up to $ 8,000 more in Quebec. In other words, that means you can get up to $ 13,000 off the purchase of your Nissan LEAF.
The maximum Government of Canada program incentive is available with the purchase of a new LEAF or when you lease for a period of 48 months. A 36 month lease gives a discount of $ 3,750, while discounts of $ 2,500 and $ 1,250 are available with a 24 and 12 month lease, respectively.
