B.C. is scrapping a provincial sales tax exemption on used electric vehicles effective May 1 .

The tax change was tucked into Tuesday ’s provincial budget.

But dealers and advocates for electric vehicles say the change could dissuade people from choosing to go zero -emission.

The move comes as the province faces a record $10.9-billion budget deficit.
