Ottawa to reimburse auto dealers on hook for $11 million in unpaid EV rebates
A car is charged at a charging station for electric vehicles on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Wednesday, May 1, 2019. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick OTTAWA — The federal government will explain today how it plans to reimburse auto dealers who were left hanging when Ottawa suspended its electric vehicle rebate program earlier this year. In January, Transport Canada paused its popular Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles program — iZEV — after its funding ran out. Ottawa spent nearly $3 billion on iZEV during its five-year lifespan. The program provided up to $5,000 toward the purchase of a new zero-emissions vehicle. But with the abrupt suspension of the program — only three days after the government suggested it would be paused when the funds were exhausted — hundreds of dealerships were forced to swallow the cost of any rebate claims they hadn't yet submitted. 'It was a shocking series of events in January when they shut down the program after giving notice that the program would go through an orderly wind-down,' said Huw Williams, public affairs director with the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association, which represents about 3,500 auto dealerships. He said that, collectively, dealers are out about $11 million. Tesla submitted rebate claims worth more than $43 million for 8,600 EVs on the weekend before the program was suspended, according to analysis by the Toronto Star. In March, Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland said Ottawa was pausing payments to Tesla in order to investigate the claims it had made. A spokesperson for Freeland's office would not offer an update on the Tesla investigation. Williams said his organization has asked the government to explain what happened with Tesla's claims. 'Every taxpayer should want to know how Tesla was allowed to game the system over such a short period of time, and were all the rules followed and was there any inside notice given to them,' Williams said. 'We don't know that, and we're not alleging that, but we think these are reasonable questions to ask for sure.' EV sales have sagged since the iZEV program was suspended. EV sales under the program peaked in December 2024 at 18.29 per cent of all new vehicles sold — the last full month before the program was suspended. Sales fell in January to 11.95 per cent and slid further to 7.53 per cent in April, according to the most recent data from Statistics Canada. Federal ministers have said the government is working toward bringing back consumer incentives for EVs — a promise also made in the Liberal party's election platform. Automakers are warning that sales are slumping further as buyers wait for the rebates to come back. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 11, 2025.

Save Up to $35 Off a Baseus Charging Station This July 4th and Stay Powered Up All Weekend
Keeping all your gear charged can be a job unto itself, and it gets more complicated when you have visitors. Whether you're having guests this Fourth of July weekend or you just need a better charging solution for your family, a charging station could be the answer. But even the best charging stations can only share so many watts between devices, which is why the best charging stations from brands like Anker and Baseus not only feature multiple USB ports but also multiple AC outlets. AC outlets accommodate those few devices that still use proprietary chargers, and it lets you expand beyond the included 2-4 USB ports without sacrificing wattage when you need to top off everyone quickly before heading out. The Fourth of July deals are bouncing into next week's Amazon Prime Day to give us some of the best savings of the year a week early. Among the dozens of mobile accessories Baseus has on sale this holiday weekend is a trio of towers that can declutter your desk and keep everything you need ready and recharged. Available in 6-in-1, 7-in-1 for $65, and 10-in-1 varieties, these charging stations all offer two USB-C ports, at least one USB-A port and multiple AC outlets. Just note: You'll need to clip the on-page coupon to get the lowest possible price. For the best blend of power and ports, Baseus' 100W 7-in-1 USB-C charging station can fast charge a laptop at 65W -- full speed for all Chromebooks and many Windows laptops -- while a phone and tablet each standard charge at 15W and still leave 5W for your smartwatch while your non-USB tech or your desk's smart speaker can use the AC ports on both sides and the back of the tower. These towers are part power delivery chargers and part surge protectors with surge and lightning protection to keep your digital lifelines from frying should calamity strike. The Baseus $35 10-in-1 desktop charging station model may sound like it's the most powerful, but it only offers 35 watts to share between the two USB-C and USB-A ports, leaving the lion's share of the station's potential power to the six AC ports. This isn't to say 35W between four ports is useless, but you'll want to use those ports for lower-powered devices like recharging your smartwatch or wireless earbuds. If you're looking to charge multiple phones and tablets with those ports, you're probably better off going with the 6-in-1 USB-C Charging Station at $50, which may only have three AC ports but features a retractable USB-C cable in addition to one standard USB-A and one USB-C port. Those three ports share 65W, meaning that you can charge both a phone and tablet at full speed rather than both getting middling speeds. Why this deal matters I use a 100W charging station like this at my desk and have another next to my couch for both me and my guests to keep our phones powered and ready. Being able to stick my 65W travel charger into one of the AC ports and fast charge four phones instead of two -- well, one phone and my Chromebook -- when I have people over and then swap it back to powering my oil diffuser or smart speaker once they're gone is a godsend, and since the wall outlets are spread out across multiple sides of the tower instead of sandwiched next to each other in a line, I never have to worry about bulky plugs blocking out half my ports. Because these charging stations double as surge protectors, you can also click their switch to power off and disconnect everything when severe weather comes, unlike standard charging stations you would have to unplug. Living in lightning capital of the U.S. makes this feature more important to me than most, but it can also be handy for parents wanting a one-click shut-off for all the kids' consoles and computers. We're still days away from Prime Day, and deals like these will continue to drop through the next week, but these chargers are all within a few dollars of their lowest prices ever. We'll watch for further price drops and competing deals throughout the holiday week, including Anker's plethora of deals on chargers, speakers and smart home appliances.

Ranelagh electric car owner ordered to remove ‘unauthorised' charging arm by council
A Dublin electric car owner has said he may have to return to diesel or petrol after being ordered by Dublin City Council to remove an 'unauthorised' charging arm installed in his front garden. The man in his 40s who lives in Ranelagh with his wife and children, opted to transition to an electric vehicle (EV) two years ago and installed the charging arm at the same time, citing a dearth of public charging points in the city. The arm, which cost €3,500, is 'excellent' he said, adding that without it, owning an EV is 'just not viable'. Like most houses in the area, his home has no off-street parking. The pole installed in his front garden hosts an arm which extends over the footpath allowing a cable to reach his car. READ MORE [ EV Q&A: Why doesn't Ireland use roadside furniture for charging electric vehicles? Opens in new window ] The man who wished to remain anonymous over fears the council would 'come and remove it the next day' said he charges his car at night, sometimes just once a week depending on usage, at a cost of about €15. He received a letter in March from the council saying the arm is not exempt from planning permission and is therefore 'unauthorised'. It ordered him to remove it within two months. 'We're in wait-and-see mode, I think they will insist on us taking it down and if they do, I think we will sell the car and buy a diesel or petrol,' he said. Although there are 'loads' of similar charging arms installed in nearby front gardens, 'we're the only ones being targeted,' he said, believing enforcement is being carried out on foot of complaints only. 'There was one complaint, I think the person complained twice, and they have to act,' he said. 'I'm just guessing someone didn't like the look of it.' The man, who was unaware that planning permission was required for the arm described it as 'incredibly frustrating' and 'completely at odds' with a Government drive to switch to EV. 'We're an example of someone trying to do our part and we seem to be penalised for it,' he said. [ Electric vehicle Q&A: What if I can't charge at home? Opens in new window ] Saying there are no public charging points in the immediate area, those littered across the city are heavily oversubscribed and rarely available. 'If there were loads of them around and they were available, even though they're more expensive, we would use them. It's the lack of them that's the key issue,' he said. Fianna Fáil councillor Rory Hogan, who is raising the issue with Dublin City Council officials, said thousands of homes without driveways are 'caught between a curb and the climate.' 'On one hand, policy encourages environmentally friendly choices like electric vehicles and on the other, outdated planning rules actively block the infrastructure needed to support them,' he said adding that 'mixed messages' are being sent to the public. Dublin City Council did not respond to requests for comment.
