Yes, I am aware of the rebates available for a Prius, but what about conversion costs to create an EV from an ICEV? That is where I hit a stumbling block. Other than a (possible) 8% rebate on sales tax for items purchased to do the conversion - and if it's anything like their alternative energy plan, it only happens once, I can't seem to locate any firm information on a pure EV. They are now selling the Tesla Roadster here in Ontario, and I can't even see where there may be a tax break on that car, which I believe should be tax exempt as far as I'm concerned. Ken.
