Cost of owning
Island residential electricity, St. John's gasoline, a six-month winter, and the federal EVAP incentive. Provincial rebates closed 15 March 2026. Residuals omitted — too noisy to pretend we know. Full federal rebate rules.
The pair

Your numbers
EVAP uses final transaction value — MSRP plus options, freight, PDI, and dealer fees, before tax. Winter tires, warranties, and HST do not count. See what is in the cap.
