Quebec was the only province to post a gain in Q1 and now leads all provinces in ZEV market share (at 25 per cent) and ZEV volume
The overall decline reflects a drop in battery electric vehicle registrations nationally to 8.2 per cent, compared to 9 per cent in Q4, while plug-in hybrid registrations held steady at 3 per cent
Big news at the provincial level, meanwhile: for the first time ever, Quebec and B.C. tied for the largest ZEV market share, at 21.4 per cent
Battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicle market share was 13.2 per cent, down a fraction from Q3, but still well above Q2’s 10.5 per cent, according to S&P Global Mobility
Zero-emission vehicle registrations reached 12.1 per cent, gaining more than two percentage points of market share, according to Statistics Canada
One in eight vehicles registered in Canada in the third quarter of this year was either battery electric or a plug-in hybrid, according to data from S&P Global Mobility
More non-emitting vehicle units were registered in Q2 2023, but relative to all new vehicle registrations, ZEV market share in Canada held at 8.6 per cent
Substantial growth in overall unit volume was the quarter’s other big story, with battery electric vehicle registrations up 46.3 per cent
Despite a sluggish start to the year all provinces saw more ZEV registrations in Q1 2023 than the first quarter of 2022
Battery electric vehicle registrations accounted for the entire decline, posting a 6.9 per cent market share, down from 8.4 per cent in Q4 2022
