But it’s important to know whether your specific vehicle and situation actually qualify before signing with a dealer. Roulez Vert eligibility depends on the vehicle type, registration rules, and when you register for the program’s online services.

Review stacking opportunities

Registering after buying the vehicle
This is one of the fastest ways to lose eligibility, even for fully electric vehicles.
Assuming all EVs qualify automatically
Not every electric model or deal structure meets Roulez Vert conditions.

Selling or deregistering the vehicle too early can put the rebate at risk.
