Meanwhile, in Nova Scotia, Canada
"The Nova Scotia budget released this week makes owning an electric vehicle in the province more expensive.
The budget introduces a $500 registration fee for battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and $250 for hybrids, payable every two years upon renewal. The levy takes effect October 1"
and ... "Nova Scotia is not the first province to introduce an EV levy. Alberta imposed a $200 registration fee on EVs in February 2025. In June of that year, Saskatchewan increased its EV tax from $150 to $300. Next year, Québec will impose an annual fee of $125 for BEV owners and $62.50 for those with plug-in electric hybrid vehicles (PHEVs). "
