That's the only rationale I can think of there.
Yep, if they work to exclude a certain subset. The savings might well be eaten up entirely up just by the administrative work to do so.

Then when something slips through the cracks, and you know there's going to be the one that slips through... They'll go crying to the news about how stupid they drive a EV and got a cheque anyways and ICBC are criminals for giving them money mistakenly or something.

Also the complainers from the EV drivers that say they deserve a rebate as well because they pay ICBC insurance just like the rest of the population!
