*Charging times and capacities are estimated based on ideal charging conditions and infrastructure. As temperatures decrease below 10°C, charging time will increase significantly and charging capacity will decrease significantly. Charging may slow down more than other comparable models in weather conditions below 0°C and may not be possible when the battery temperature drops to around -20°C and below. Amongst others and non-exclusively, drive battery conditions, charger specifications, charging infrastructure and Level 3 DC fast charging fully more than once per day also can negatively affect charging time. See the owner’s manual for details.
*Based on Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) approved guidelines. Refer to NRCan’s Fuel Consumption Guide available at https://fcr-ccc.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/en for more information. Full battery charge and ideal conditions are required. Figures will vary based, amongst others and non-exclusively, on driving and charging habits, speed, accessory use, weather and temperature, battery age, vehicle condition, road condition and other factors. In sub ideal conditions, figures may worsen by more than 50%. Battery capacity decreases with time and use which will further reduce range. See the owner’s manual or NRCan’s Fuel Consumption Guide for details.
*May qualify for up to $5,000 in federal incentives and, depending on your province of residence, up to $7,000 in provincial incentives.
Incentives information is provided for informational purposes only. Incentives are offered and administered by the respective governments and are subject to change or cancellation at any time without notice. We do not guarantee and make no representation on your eligibility for incentives or on the actual amounts. Conditions and limitations apply.
Incentives amounts are based on the type of purchase or term of your lease. For cash purchases and finance contracts, incentives are applied to the retail price after applicable fees and taxes. For lease contracts, and for calculation purposes only, a before tax incentive amount is applied. In some provinces, the provincial incentive is to be redeemed by qualifying customers after purchase/lease only.
