Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to the questions founders most often ask about CleanBC Go Electric Commercial Vehicle Pro...
Free
Can I apply if I buy a Tesla after March 12, 2025?
No — Tesla vehicles became ineligible as of March 12, 2025. Applications for Tesla purchases after this date will be rejected regardless of vehicle type.
How much can I get for a Class 8 truck?
$130,000 as a point-of-sale rebate, about 20% more where the top-up applies ($156,000), provided the vehicle is on the Eligible Vehicle Models list at time of purchase.
Is the program open right now?
Yes. It reopened August 10, 2026 as a point-of-sale rebate program. Apply online to reserve funds, then order through an approved seller. If a funding tranche runs out, intake pauses until the next release: December 10, 2026, then April 12, 2027.
Why did my application get rejected?
Most common reason: vehicle not on the Eligible Vehicle Models list at purchase time. Other top reasons: vehicle not ordered within the two-month fund reservation window, not delivered within 12 months of pre-approval, used vehicle, or Tesla purchased after March 12, 2025.
Can I stack with federal programs?
Federal iMHZEV stacking mostly ended for new applicants around May 2026, so this mainly applies if you hold an existing iMHZEV pre-approval/voucher. Where combinable, stacking with other government funding is capped at 75% of eligible project costs for businesses, 100% for Indigenous organizations, local governments and non-profits.
