FAQs
Cost Comparison Between Hybrids vs. Electric Cars - Fuel & Maintenance
A hybrid vehicle will feature both a traditional gasoline engine and an electric motor with a battery pack supporting it, which means that you will still be spending money on fuel, but not as much as a regular gas-powered vehicle. On the other hand, an electric vehicle will not use any fuel, and its maintenance is cheaper since electric vehicles don't have as many components as gas engines.
Federal/Provincial Rebates For Hybrid & Electric Vehicles Near Me
Shopping for a hybrid or fully electric vehicle will benefit you financially during your purchase since there is a government program available that provides incentives for purchasing a vehicle that contributes to zero emissions. The program is called iZEV and lists the various models eligible for this incentive, providing an incentive of up to $5,000. Depending on the electric driving range of an electric vehicle, it will qualify for a different amount of money. For example, any hybrid vehicle with an all-electric driving range of 50 kilometres or more will qualify for the maximum amount. Models that fall short of that electric driving range will also receive an incentive, but the amount will be reduced to $2,500. From the MINI lineup, various models qualify for this incentive, including the 2023 MINI 3-Door Hatch, 2023 MINI Countryman All4, 2022 MINI 3 Door, 2022 MINI Countryman, 2021 MINI Countryman, 2020/2021 MINI Cooper SE 3 Door, and 2018/2019/2020 MINI Countryman. Only specific trims with a hybrid or fully electric powertrain qualify from these MINI models, while gasoline-powered MINIs do not.
