Shipments of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles eligible for the federal incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) program swelled to an all-time high in March.
Deliveries across all brands reached 9,794 during the month, more than their level in January and February combined, according to the latest data from Statistics Canada, which also revises down previously reported figures for February.
Following its high-profile pricing cut Jan. 12 that requalified the Model 3 for the iZEV program, Tesla distanced itself from the pack in March with 2,695 eligible deliveries. Hyundai and Chevrolet placed second and third with a respective 1,239 and 1,187 qualifying shipments.
