Key ZEV Policies:

• In May 2026, British Columbia amended the Zero Emission Vehicle Act, lowering the 2035 ZEV sales target from 100% to 75% and removing the 2035 internal combustion vehicle phase-out requirement. This follows November 2025 amendments that provided automakers compliance flexibility, including higher allowable PHEV shares, relaxed electric range requirements, and credit-earning agreements.
• Following the conclusion of passenger car purchase rebates in 2025, GoElectric prioritizes public charging deployment, funding initiatives such as 75 new projects adding 277 fast-charging ports across 41 communities. As of mid-2026, B.C. installed 8,925 public chargers, reaching nearly 90% of its 2030 target of 10,000 stations.
• For commercial medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, the province relaunched the point-of-sale rebates for ZEVs supporting businesses, indigenous organizations, local governments, and non-profits, complemented by public MHDV charging program covering up to 50% of capital costs for high-power fast-charging infrastructure.

Key ZEV Policies:

• The California Air Resources Board advanced the Drive Forward initiative to support the development of new light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicle standards, incentives, and complimentary programs. The initiative secured voluntary compliance commitments from major automakers to certify at least 90% of model year 2026 production volume to clean vehicle standards.
• The $135.5 million MyFirstEV program offers first-time ZEV buyers or lessees up to $3,500 for new vehicles and $1,750 for used vehicles. The state’s contribution is matched by participating automakers. This is complemented by equity programs such as Clean Cars 4 All and the Driving Clean Assistance Program.
• For commercial fleets, the Clean Miles Standard, which require ride-hailing companies to electrify, completed its first full compliance year, driving significant ZEV adoption among ride-hailing drivers. The state also supports medium- and heavy-duty fleet transitions through the Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) and
• The California Energy Commission implements mandatory EV Charger Data and Reliability Standards for public funded chargers. State agencies will be evaluating bidirectional charging (V2G) standards under the Senate Bill 59 to support grid resilience.

Key ZEV Policies:

• In February 2026, Canada announced its new Automotive Strategy, which proposes to replace the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard (EVAS) with fleet greenhouse gas emission standards targeting 75% EV sales by 2035 and 90% by 2040, alongside over $3 billion in support domestic automotive and battery manufacturing. Draft regulations to repeal the EVAS was published in August 2026.
• The $2.3 billion, five-year EV Affordability Program offers rebate up to $5,000 for buying or leasing battery-electric and fuel cell vehicles, and up to $2,500 for plug-in hybrids. Canadian made vehicles qualify at any price. Imported vehicles must be made in a country with a free trade agreement with Canada and capped at $50,000. The medium- and heavy-duty ZEV incentive program closed in March 2026.
• In January 2026, Canada agreed to allow up to 49,000 Chinese-made EVs per year at a 6.1% tariff, with more than half expected to be affordable EVs priced under $35,000 within five years.
• The National Charging Infrastructure Strategy targets expanding charging network and attract private investment, supported by $1.5 billion through the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s Charging and Hydrogen Refueling Infrastructure Initiative.

Key ZEV Policies:

• In 2013, Chile became the first Latin American country to adopt fuel economy labeling. Under its Energy Efficiency Law, mandatory efficiency standards for new light-duty vehicles took effect in 2024, backed by non-compliance fees for vehicle importers. A medium-duty standard is proposed to take effect in 2028, with heavy-duty regulations under development.
• In 2020, the government released its National Green Hydrogen Strategy, which aims to use its solar and wind resources to potentially produce 160 Mton of green hydrogen yearly. This will help displace fossil fuel consumption for medium- and heavy-duty trucking.
• In 2021, Chile launched its National Electromobility Strategy, targeting 100% ZEV sales for cars, public transport and large mobile machinery (e.g. mining equipment) by 2035. Chile also signed the COP26 ZEV Declaration.
• In 2022, the Energy Storage and Electromobility Law exempted battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles from the annual circulation permit for their first two years, phasing down gradually across an 8-year schedule.

Key ZEV Policies:

• In 2019, Costa Rica launched its National Decarbonization Plan (2018-2050) to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 across transport systems. The plan targets 30% of public transport fleet being zero emission by 2035, and 85% by 2050. For light-vehicles, it targets 30% electric by 2035 and 95% by 2050.
• In 2018, Costa Rica passed Law 9518 on Incentives and Promotion of Electric Transportation, which exempts EVs from import duties, consumption tax and VAT, and promotes non-fiscal incentives such as preferential parking. Law 10209 (2022) extended the tax exemptions with gradual phase-down through 2034. In September 2026, the government proposed eliminating these incentives as a part of a broader tax reform.
• Under the National Electric Transportation Plan (2018–2030), state-owned utilities are building a national fast-charging network, powered by an electricity grid that is mainly sourced from renewables.

• The National Climate Agreement set the target to achieve 100% of new passenger car sales to be zero-emission by no later than 2030.
• The Subsidy Scheme for Electric Passenger Cars for Private Individuals (SEPP) ended at the end of 2024, and the government now relies on tax incentives. Zero emission cars receive a 30% discount on annual motor vehicle tax through 2028 and 25% in 2029, with the discount ending in 2030. For trucks, the Purchase Subsidy for Zero-Emission Trucks (AanZET) offers up to €115,200 per vehicle.

• Launched in 2019, the National Infrastructure Agenda brings stakeholders together to make charging accessible nationwide and accelerate the deployment. In 2025, the agenda shifted its focus on managing grid congestion through smart charging and vehicle-to-grid integration, and expanding megawatt charging hubs along key freight corridors.
• The Subsidy Scheme for Public Charging Infrastructure for Heavy Transport (SPULA) is a €14,5 million program that covers up to 20% of the cost of building or expanding public charging for electric trucks and buses, with extra support for battery storage where grid capacity is limited. In 2026, it added a new category for chargers of 550 kW or more (€80,000 per station) and began requiring confirmation from the grid operator that a connection of at least 100 kVa will be available within two years.
