- 34,601 claims and $148 million in incentives since February 16
- Toyota leads with 10,425 claims; Tesla has only 456 total
🔎 Why it matters: EVAP data highlights incentive distribution by manufacturer and model, showing Tesla’s limitation to a single eligible model, the Giga Berlin Model Y RWD.
📈 Upside: The program drove over 10,000 claims in May alone, showing strong EV adoption in Canada.
📉 Risk: Tesla’s limited eligibility restricts its participation compared to competitors with multiple qualifying models.
