OTTAWA—The Tesla Model 3 will no longer top the list of Canada’s most rebated electric car. Transport Canada says the popular battery-operated vehicle was removed from the eligibility list for the federal zero-emission vehicle rebate in late November. The carmaker just raised the base price for the Model 3 to $59,990, well above the $45,000 qualifying price to get the $5,000 rebate. In 2019 the company lowered the price to just under $45,000 to make it eligible for the rebate. Since the rebate program began in May 2019, nearly 35,000 Teslas qualified for it, more than twice as many as the second-place Toyota Prius. More than half a billion dollars has been spent on EV rebates in the last three years, of which more than one-third went to Teslas. By Mia Rabson
