A-33.02, r. 1 - Regulation respecting the application of the Act to increase the number of zero-emission motor vehicles in Québec in order to reduce greenhouse gas and other pollutant emissions

Section 29.2 Disposition versions

2023-10-05

29.2. The sale or lease of a new low-emission motor vehicle gives entitlement to 0.5 credits if the electric range of the vehicle is equal to or greater than 80 km.

The electric range of a motor vehicle referred to in sections 29.2 and 29.3 is obtained by multiplying the electric range of the vehicle in charge-depleting mode (“A” in the equation below) by factor 0.7.

For the model years 2025, 2026 and 2027, the sale or lease of a new low-emission motor vehicle whose electric range (A × 0.7) is equal to or greater than 50 km but less than 80 km gives entitlement to the number of credits determined using the following equation:

Nc LEV = ((A × 0.7) / 200) + 0.05

where

Nc LEV = the number of credits to which the sale or lease of a new low-emission motor vehicle whose electric range (A × 0.7) is equal to or greater than 50 km but less than 80 km for model years 2025, 2026 and 2027 gives entitlement;

A = the electric range of the motor vehicle in charge-depleting mode, in kilometres, established in accordance with section 311-12(j)(4)(i) of Subpart D, Part 600, Subchapter Q, Chapter I, Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, rounded to the first decimal or, if the number is equidistant by 2 consecutive decimals, to the highest of those numbers.

Despite the foregoing, the sale or lease of a new low-emission motor vehicle that is not covered under Part 600 – Fuel Economy and Greenhouse Gas Exhaust Emissions of Motor Vehicles of Subchapter Q, Chapter I, Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations gives entitlement to 0.5 credits irrespective of its electric range.
