2.5 yrs driving an EV and always spreading the word about EV'S. We need to remove mirrors and front license plates for better aerodynamics that greatly affect the range.

The need to incentivize the adoption of EVs is vitally important. I believe that the Ontario Provincial Government in conjunction with the Federal Government need to eliminate the HST on the purchase of EVs, specifically "Battery Electric Vehicles".

The new structure of the incentive is a great step. To incentive lower priced EV's it helps to expand the availability beyond just the wealthier purchasers.

I think that the EVIP is absolutely crucial to the sale of EV's at least until the cost of EV's reaches parity with ICE vehicles. The changes to the program last February were both effective and fair.
I also think the EVCIP seems quite reasonable.

I would like to start out by saying that I feel our Government is on the right track with their Climate Change Plan, and I am honoured to live in a Province that takes this serious issue to heart.

I believe that the current incentive program is quite strong and would like to see it continue in its current form until at least 2025 to encourage the sale of more EVs in the province.

The best incentive to purchase an EV should be a tax reduction of some sort. This would incentivize anyone in any purchase range to go for an EV as opposed to any other vehicle.

Current EV owner but would like to see the cap relaxed on vehicles over $75,000. One of the largest draw backs is the lack of infrastructure.

The incentives could be a mixture both to stop GHG emissions and to drive EVs. Many plug-in hybrids, however, are not worthy of high incentive support, because they do not provide enough improvement.

The EV purchase incentive should be tied to the battery size of the vehicle to push for suitable replacements for ICE vehicles
The incentive cap should be relaxed to allow more people to purchase battery electric vehicles and should not apply to plug in hybrids.

1 - Ensuring charging infrastructure is widely available: Pls encourage the big shopping Malls, Costco, Walmart , Canadian and public park to put up charging stations (L2 or L3). Markham City - pls install public charging stations like Town of Richmond.

Although the incentives are working well for the EV and Hybrid cars that are currently available - launch dates for many of the full EV cars with 0 emissions are taking longer than thought (ex. Chevy Bolt; Hyundai Ioniq etc.).

Electric Vehicle Incentive Program (EVIP):
1. No need increase the incentive for vehicles over $75,000. The market is too small to have environmental impact.

Electric Vehicle Incentive Program (EVIP)
What should the government tie the EV purchase incentives to (e.g., vehicle tailpipe GHG emissions, battery size, technology type, etc.) in order to support a significant growth in EV sales and GHG emissions reductions?

Electric vehicles over $50,000 should not have any incentives. Vehicles over that price are luxury vehicles and the purchasers should be able to afford them with or without the incentive. Vehicles under that price such as the upcoming Tesla model threeshould have significant incentive programs.

Private Fleets represent over 50% of the Class 8 trucks on the road today, and over 70% of the class 4 to 7 Urban delivery trucks. As such, Private Fleet education and adoption of Electric Vehicles will be very important if a large scale increase in EV's is expected.

I am very excited about Ontario's Climate Change Action Plan and specifically the EV and charging incentives that exist and are being implemented in the future. One of the greatest barriers for me is the lack of availability of practical, reasonably priced EVs in the marketplace.
