- EV sales in Canada rose 47% YoY in February 2025, with nearly 13,000 units sold.
- Canada's EVAP rebate of $5,000 was relaunched on February 16, 2025.
- Gas prices reached nearly $2 per litre by late March 2025.
- AutoTrader searches for new and used EVs rose 33% from February to March 2025.
- Experts caution long-term EV demand depends on continued incentives and gas price stability.
Mid-term EV demand may decline 2-5% over 1-4 weeks as initial demand spike normalizes. Key risk: if gas prices drop or rebate funds deplete.
