What is the BC Scrap-It Program?

The BC Scrap-It program was designed to help residents of British Columbia get rid of their old, gas guzzling vehicle for a new (or pre-owned) zero emission vehicle through financial incentives. Those financial incentives include:

• A $6,000 rebate when you purchase a qualifying new EV
• A $3,000 rebate when you purchase a qualifying pre-owned EV

Is My Old Vehicle Eligible?

There are a few criteria that you must meet in order to qualify for the BC Scrap-It Program. These include:

• All applicant(s) must be the registered owner(s) of the vehicle being scrapped
• All applicants must be able to provide evidence from ICBC that they have had continuous driving insurance (not including storage) on their vehicle, as the registered owner(s), for the 6 month period from the date they apply to the program, backwards.
• Your vehicle is 2001 or older and is only propelled by a gas/fossil fuel internal combustion engine

What Other Incentives Are There?

If your vehicle is a 2002 or newer model year and has a fuel consumption rating of 7.1 L/100km (city) or less, it is not eligible for an EV rebate. However, it is eligible for other BC Scrap-It rebates. These include:

• An 11 month ECOPASS ($880 value) valid on the Victoria Regional transit system
