I have a sneaking suspicion that green rebates are being exploited by historically shady businesses (contractors and car dealers) by baking in the cost of the rebate into the final price.
There’s a local lot with a used 2021 Ioniq with the usual “used car dealer” hand-lettered sign proclaiming the $5,750 provincial rebate. I’m also fairly certain the car had its price inflated by that much by the dealer, or will climb by that as soon as negotiations start.
