Malik Jamal has been saving up for an electric vehicle. He doesn't own a car now, largely because he doesn't want to pollute the environment with a gas-powered vehicle. There's even a third program, Scrap-It, in which British Columbians can bring in old gas-powered vehicles that qualify, and get another $6,000 toward a new electric vehicle. Since Jamal doesn't have an old car, that option is off the table, but for many people wanting to get into the electric vehicle market, there are a lot of incentives on the table. But not all electric car fans — or prospective buyers like Jamal — are entirely enthusiastic about the new rebate.
