EV maker Tesla has now seen will now see its incentive program resumed in the Canadian region after a court ruling which entails the Ontario government reopening the initiative which offers rebates of up to C$14,000 ($10,640) for electric vehicle buyers.

The rebate program previously excluded Tesla customers which led to a lawsuit from the company terming the exemption as “unjustified” and “unreasonable”.

Some Tesla owners in the region would now be able to take advantage of this incentive which stands as a key attraction for the purchase of EVs.

“The court has rendered its decision. The ministry will abide by the court’s decision and I have directed the ministry to expand the wind-down process for the Electric and Hydrogen Vehicle Incentive Program,” Transportation Minister John Yakabuski said in a statement.

“Incentives will be provided as long as the following conditions are met: eligible vehicles were delivered, registered, and plated on or before July 11 or … were on dealer lots in Ontario — or on order by dealers or by customers directly from manufacturers on or before July 11, and delivered to customers, registered and plated on or before Sept. 10,” he stated.
