iZEV Program on Nissan Electric and Hybrid Vehicles in Nanaimo, BC

This program offers drivers incentives on the purchase or lease of qualifying zero-emission vehicles and can be bundled with additional federal incentive programs.

What’s a ZEV? 

ZEV stands for Zero-Emission Vehicle. A ZEV is any vehicle that can produce no tailpipe emissions. However, this does not mean it has to produce no tailpipe emissions at all times of operation. Additionally, vehicles that have standard internal combustion engines can still qualify as ZEVs. To do so, these vehicles need to be able to operate without using the combustion engine. 

The following types of vehicles are considered ZEVs: 

Which Nissan Models are ZEVs? 

Under the current Transport Canada iZEV program, the Nissan Leaf (a battery-electric model) is the only model that qualifies as a ZEV with available incentives. However, the upcoming Nissan Ariya electric crossover SUV will almost certainly also be recognized by the iZEV program upon its release.
