Overview

• Tesla chargers, batteries, and inverters are no longer eligible for British Columbia's CleanBC and BC Hydro rebate programs as of March 12, 2025.
• The decision aligns with the province's policy to prioritize Canadian-made goods and exclude U.S. products where feasible.
• The move follows U.S. President Donald Trump's recent tariffs on Canadian goods, which have escalated trade tensions between the two nations.
• Elon Musk criticized the exclusion on social media, with some Canadian officials and citizens expressing dissatisfaction with Musk's actions and ties to Trump.
• Customers with pre-approved Tesla products before the cutoff date will still qualify for rebates under the program.
