Subaru Solterra (2023–2026): EV perks and running costs in Canada
At 182 Wh/km, a Subaru Solterra driven 15,000 km a year needs about 2,160 kWh of charging – roughly 180 kWh a month at home, with 80% of charging done there. At that volume the best published home-charging reward, Roulez Electrique Points, pays about $281 a year. The cheapest place in Canada to charge it is Ontario, at 3.7¢/kWh.
What a Subaru Solterra is worth, province by province
Each row assumes 15,000 km a year with 80% of charging at home on that province's cheapest overnight plan and the rest in public at 45¢/kWh. Net vs gas is fuel saved against an 8.5 L/100 km petrol car at that province's pump price, plus the best charging reward, minus any annual EV fee. Purchase rebates are one-time and are not added into it.

Notes on these figures
- Consumption, range and battery size come from NRCan Fuel Consumption Ratings MY2023–2026: Solterra AWD, re-checked against NRCan's open data.
- Charging rewards use each program's published rate at this car's own monthly kWh, so tiered programs are integrated up their ladder rather than charged a flat rate.
- Rebate figures are for a new battery electric vehicle; price caps and residency conditions still apply – see rebates and their conditions.
