Nature And Continuance Of Operations And Going Concern [Abstract] | |
Nature and Continuance of Operations and Going Concern [Text Block] | 1. Nature and Continuance of Operations and Going Concern GreenPower Motor Company Inc. ("GreenPower" or the "Company") was incorporated in the Province of British Columbia on September 18, 2007. The Company is in the business of manufacturing and distributing all-electric transit, school and charter buses. The primary office is located at Suite 240-209 Carrall St., Vancouver, Canada. The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on June 30, 2022. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards on the basis that the Company is a going concern, meaning that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the normal course of operations. The Company's continuing operations are dependent upon its ability to raise capital and generate cash flows. As at March 31, 2022, the Company had a cash and restricted cash balance of $6,888,322, working capital of $31,581,470, accumulated deficit of ($46,359,308), and shareholder's equity of $34,385,193. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent on future cash flows from operations including the successful sale and manufacture of electric buses to achieve a profitable level of operations and obtaining necessary financing to fund ongoing operations. To this end, the Company has a history of delivering all-electric buses to customers, has a backlog of orders for delivery, and has a line of credit with a credit limit of up to $8 million with available liquidity of approximately $2.2 million to meet funding requirements. The Company's ability to achieve its business objectives is subject to material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company faces risks from the COVID-19 global pandemic which has had, and may continue to have, a material adverse impact on our business and financial condition. While we have seen a re-opening of the economy, and a resumption of travel and sales activity, the future impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic is inherently uncertain, and may negatively impact the financial ability of our customers to purchase vehicles from us, of our suppliers' ability to deliver products used in the manufacture of our all-electric vehicles, in our employees' ability to manufacture our vehicles and to carry out their other duties in order to sustain our business, and in our ability to collect certain receivables owing to us, among other factors. These factors may continue to have a negative impact on our financial results, operations, outlook, goals, growth prospects, cash flows, liquidity and share price, and the potential timing, severity, and ultimate duration of any potential negative impacts is uncertain. The Company's business financial condition and results of operations may be further negatively affected by economic and other consequences from Russia's military action against Ukraine and the sanctions imposed in response to that action in late February 2022. While the Company expects any direct impacts, of the pandemic and the war in the Ukraine, to the business to be limited, the indirect impacts on the economy and other industries in general could negatively affect the business and may make it more difficult for it to raise equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will not be impacted by adverse consequences that may be brought about on its business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows in the future. |

Disclosure Of Detailed Information About Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 2. Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of presentation Statement of Compliance with IFRS These annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). These consolidated financial statements are presented on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") or as fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), in U.S. dollars. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies. On August 28, 2020 the Company completed a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of seven pre-consolidation shares for one post-consolidation common share. On the same date, the Company's post-consolidation common shares began trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange and ceased trading on the OTCQB exchange in the US, and the post-consolidation shares continued trading on the TSX Venture exchange in Canada. All references to share and per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to give effect to this share consolidation unless otherwise stated. (b) Basis of consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Name of Country of Ownership Ownership Principal Subsidiary Incorporation 31-Mar-22 31-Mar-21 Activity GP GreenPower Industries Inc. Canada 100% 100% Holding company GreenPower Motor Company, Inc. United States 100% 100% Electric bus manufacturing and distribution 0939181 BC Ltd.

India 100% N/A Electric bus manufacturing and distribution All intercompany balances, transactions, revenues and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures which are considered material to the understanding of the Company's consolidated financial statements are provided below. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. (c) Financial instruments Classification IFRS 9 requires a company to classify its financial instruments based on the way they are measured, into one of three categories: Amortized Cost, FVTPL, and FVOCI. In determining the appropriate category for financial assets, a company must consider whether it intends to hold the financial assets and collect the contractual cash flows or to collect the cash flows and sell financial assets (the "business model test") and whether the contractual cash flows of an asset are solely payments of principal and interest (the "SPPI test"). i. Amortized Cost All of the Company's financial instruments, initially recognized at fair value, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are included in the initial fair value measurement of the financial instruments, and the Company incorporates the expected credit loss in financial assets on a forward-looking basis. The Company will, at a minimum, recognize 12 month expected losses in profit or loss, and if a significant increase in credit risk occurs after initial recognition, lifetime expected losses will be recognized. The Company has issued convertible debentures that can be converted into shares of the Company at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition. Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to the financial liability are recognized in profit or loss. When the conversion option is exercised, the carrying amount of the liability is recorded as share capital and the equity component of the compound financial instrument is transferred to share capital. When the Company extinguishes convertible debentures before maturity through early redemption or repurchase where the conversion option is unchanged, the Company allocates the consideration paid and any transaction costs for the repurchase or redemption to the liability and equity components of the instrument at the date of settlement. The method used in allocating the consideration paid and transaction costs to the separate components is consistent with the method used in the original allocation to the separate components of the proceeds received by the entity when the convertible instrument was issued. The amount of gain or loss relating to the early redemption or repurchase of the liability component is recognized in profit or loss. The amount of consideration relating to the equity component is recognized in equity. ii. FVTPL Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized through the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not have any liabilities classified as FVTPL as at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. Derivative financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at their fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in profit and loss. Derivative financial assets and liabilities include warrants purchased or issued by the Company denominated in a currency other than the Company's functional currency. As at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any derivative financial assets or liabilities. iii. FVOCI Certain debt instrument assets must be classified as FVOCI unless the option to FVTPL is taken and the FVOCI classification is an election for equity assets. The Company did not have any debt or equity assets classified as FVOCI as at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. For debt instruments measured at FVOCI, interest income (calculated using the effective interest rate method), foreign currency gains or losses and impairment gains or losses are recognized directly in profit or loss. The difference between cumulative fair value gains or losses and the cumulative amounts recognized in profit or loss is recognized in OCI until derecognition, when the amounts in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss. For equity instruments designated as FVOCI only dividend income is recognized in profit or loss with all other gains and losses recognized in OCI and there is no reclassification on derecognition. Measurement All of the Company's financial instruments, initially recognized at fair value, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are included in the initial fair value measurement of the financial instruments. Impairment The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with financial assets measured at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables, which is recorded as an allowance for credit losses. Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. As at March 31, 2022, the Company recognized an allowance for credit losses of $44,579 (2021 - $35,639) (Note 4). For financial assets that are measured at amortized cost, the Company will, at a minimum, recognize 12 month expected losses in profit or loss, calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. As at March 31, 2022 the Company recognized an allowance for credit losses of nil (2021 - $344,737) on its promissory note receivable. Lifetime expected losses will be recognized on assets for which there is a significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition. During the year ended March 31, 2022 the Company recognized an impairment of $43,261 on accounts receivable related to one finance lease (2021 - $nil). (d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents usually consist of highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash with maturity of three months or less and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. As at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 the Company had no cash equivalents. (e) Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers when a customer obtains control of the goods or services, and the Company satisfies its performance obligation to customers in exchange for consideration the Company expects to receive, net of discounts and taxes. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation. Most of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized when the goods are shipped or accepted by the customer, depending on the delivery conditions, and title and risk have passed to the customer. Revenues from services such as supporting and training relating to the sale of products are recognized as the services are performed. The Company also has not historically, but may in the future, earn product repair and maintenance revenues, which may relate to warranty contracts, which would be recognized over the periods and according to the terms of the warranty or other contract. The Company would recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the costs to be recoverable and has determined that such costs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Capitalized contract acquisition costs are amortized consistent with the pattern of transfer to the customer for the goods and services to which the asset relates. The Company does not capitalize incremental costs of obtaining contracts if the amortization period is one year or less. (f) Impairment of long-lived assets At the end of each reporting period, the Company's assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. (g) Foreign currency translation The consolidated entities and their respective functional currencies are as follows: Entity Functional Currency GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (parent) U.S. Dollar GP GreenPower Industries Inc. Canadian Dollar GreenPower Motor Company, Inc. U.S. Dollar 0939181 BC Ltd. Canadian Dollar San Joaquin Valley Equipment Leasing, Inc. U.S. Dollar 0999314 B.C. Ltd. Canadian Dollar Electric Vehicle Logistics Inc. U.S. Dollar GreenPower Manufacturing WV Inc. U.S. Dollar Lion Truck Body Incorporated U.S. Dollar EA GreenPower Private Ltd. U.S. Dollar GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (parent) changed its functional currency from the Canadian dollar to the US dollar effective April 1, 2019 due to the significant US dollar denominated liabilities of the entity, the significant amount of financing raised that is denominated in US dollars, the portion of the Company's expenses denominated in US dollars, and the expectation that all of these factors are expected to increase over time. The change in functional currency of this entity did not have a material impact on the financial results of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2020. Translation to functional currency Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect at the measurement date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the historical exchange rate or the exchange rate in effect at the measurement date for items recognized at FVTPL. Gains and losses arising from foreign exchange are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Translation to presentation currency The results and financial position of those entities with a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: - - - Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income / loss. On disposal of a foreign operation (that is, a disposal of the Company's entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation) all exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the equity holders of the Company are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/loss to net income/loss for the period. (h) Inventory Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined on a specific item basis. The Company's inventory consists of electric buses in process, production supplies, and finished goods. In determining net realizable value for new buses, the Company primarily considers the age of the vehicles along with the timing of annual and model changeovers. For used buses, the Company considers recent market data and trends such as loss histories along with the current age of the inventory. (i) Property, plant, and equipment Property, plant and equipment ("PPE") are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of PPE consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of PPE, less their estimated residual value, using the following rates/estimated lives and methods: Leasehold improvements Over term of lease, straight line method Computers 3 years, straight line method EV equipment 3 years, straight line method Furniture 7 years, straight line method Automobiles 5-10 years, straight line method Leased asset 12 years, straight line method Buses 12 years, straight line method An item of PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Where an item of PPE comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of PPE. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of PPE is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures are capitalized. (j) Loss per share The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti- dilutive. (k) Share capital Common shares are classified as equity. Finders fees and other related share issue costs, such as legal, regulatory, and printing, on the issue of the Company's shares are charged directly to share capital, net of any tax effects. During the years ended March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 the Company recorded $27,329, $2,948,718 and $463,411 respectively in share issuance costs on its Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity (Deficit) in regards to the issuance of shares (Note 11). (l) Income taxes Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognized in net income/loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss/income. Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current period and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect to previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period the Company reassesses deferred tax assets. The Company will recognize a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. (m) Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to critical accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, determination of the useful life of equipment, the carrying value of accounts receivable and promissory note receivable and the associated allowance for credit losses, net realizable value of inventory, provision for warranty expense, and the $nil provision for income taxes. Critical accounting judgments i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. (n) Share-based payment transactions The Company grants share-based awards to certain officers, employees, directors and other eligible persons. The fair value of the equity-settled awards is determined at the date of the grant. In calculating fair value, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the Company. Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. At each financial reporting date, the cumulative expense representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management's best estimate of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest is computed. The movement in cumulative expense is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations with a corresponding entry against the related equity settled share-based payments reserve account over the vesting period. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest. If the awards expire unexercised, the related amount remains in share-option reserve. Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital. When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The fair value of stock options granted to non-employees is re-measured at the earlier of each financial reporting or vesting date, and any adjustment is charged or credited to operations upon re-measurement. (o) Valuation of equity units issued in private placements The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The fair value of the common shares issued in the private placement was determined to be the more easily measurable component and were valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the announcement date. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as warrant reserve. If the warrants are exercised, the related amount is reclassified as share capital. If the warrants expire unexercised, the related amount remains in warrant reserve. (p) Government grants Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all conditions related to the grant. The grant without specified future performance conditions is recognized in income when the grant proceeds are receivable. A grant that imposes specified future performance conditions is recognized in income when those conditions are met. Government grants in the form of forgivable loans are treated as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will meet the terms of the forgiveness of the loan (q) Provisions and contingent liabilities Provisions are recognized when present obligations as a result of a past event will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Company and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Provisions are discounted when the time value of money is significant. (r) Leases Definition of a lease At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to account for leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application and leases of low value assets as short-term leases. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As a lessee The Company recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, based on the initial amount of the lease liability. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right of use asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, at the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The ongoing lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is re- measured when there is a change in future lease payments, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right of use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right of use asset has been reduced to zero. As a lessor When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset. If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract. Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as finance lease receivables at the amount of the Company's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Company's net investment in the lease. The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term, included in Revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. (s) Adoption of accounting standards No new or amended standards were adopted during the year ended March 31, 2022. (t) Future accounting pronouncements Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published by the IASB or the IFRS Interpretations Committee that are not mandatory for the March 31, 2022 reporting period, as follows: IAS 37 - Onerous Contracts The amendments to IAS 37 specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. The amendments to IAS 37 specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current The amendments to IAS1 provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Company has not early adopted any of these standards and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these standards might have on its consolidated financial statements. |

Finance Lease Receivables [Text Block] | 5. Finance Lease Receivables GreenPower's wholly owned subsidiary San Joaquin Valley Equipment Leasing Inc. ("SJVEL") leases vehicles to several customers, and as at March 31, 2022 the Company had a total of 48 (2021 - 52) vehicles on lease that were determined to be finance leases, and the Company had a total of 1 (2021 - 2) vehicle on lease that was determined to be operating leases. During the year ended March 31, 2022, the Company entered into a mutual release agreement with the lessee of 28 (2021 - 30) EV Stars which were accounted for as finance leases, where SJVEL subsequently sold the vehicles to a third party, and one mutual release for an EV 250 (2021-nil) that was subsequently transferred to Property Plant and Equipment. For operating leases, lease payments are recognized in revenue when earned. For the year ended March 31, 2022, selling profit on finance leases was $725,814 (2021 - $2,533,833, 2020 - $865,009). The following table illustrates Finance Lease Receivables as at March 31, 2022 and as at March 31, 2021: For the years ended March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021 Lease finance receivable, beginning of year $ 3,922,391 $ 1,330,291 Investment recognized 1,150,360 3,693,094 Investment derecognized (1,389,065 ) (1,078,223 ) Lease payments received (511,000 ) (226,616 ) Interest income recognized 223,053 203,845 Lease finance receivable, end of year $ 3,395,739 $ 3,922,391 Current portion of Finance Lease Receivable $ 443,880 $ 308,505 Long Term Portion of Finance Lease Receivable $ 2,951,859 $ 3,613,886 Payments to be received on Finance Lease Receivables (undiscounted): 31-Mar-22 Year 1 $ 792,115 Year 2 1,224,975 Year 3 785,861 Year 4 328,058 Year 5 332,184 Year 6 551,500 less: amount representing interest income (618,954 ) Finance Lease Receivable $ 3,395,739 Current Portion of Finance Lease Receivable $ 443,880 Long Term Portion of Finance Lease Receivable $ 2,951,859 |

Promissory Note Receivable [Abstract] | |
Promissory Note Receivable [Text Block] | 7. Promissory Note Receivable On January 23, 2018, the Company entered into multiple lease agreements (the "Agreements") with a third party (the "Customer") for the purpose of leasing EV 550's for a period of five years. On January 30, 2018, these lease payments, except for the final payment to be made by the Customer of CDN$1,000,000 to the Company, were purchased by and transferred to an independent third party (the "Purchaser") in exchange for a lump sum payment of CDN$1,492,611 to the Company. The Purchaser was granted a first-priority security interest in the EV550's. Both the lump sum and the discounted final payment were included in Revenue in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The CDN$1,000,000 due at the end of the lease term is classified as a Promissory Note Receivable on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Promissory Note Receivable has been discounted over the five-year lease term at a rate of 6.4%. As at March 31, 2021 the Company determined there was a significant increase in credit risk compared to the prior year, and accordingly the Company aggregated the present value of expected payments of the promissory note receivable under three probability weighted scenarios and determined that a provision of CDN$455,110 or $344,737 was warranted as at March 31, 2021, and that a write down of the asset of $223,119 as at March 31, 2020 was warranted. The Company has evaluated the carrying value of the promissory note receivable as at March 31, 2022 and at March 31, 2021 in accordance with IFRS 9. As at March 31, 2022, the Company determined that it was unlikely that CDN$1,000,000 due at the end of the lease term would be received, and accordingly has recognized the unguaranteed residual value of the vehicles in inventory. The carrying value of the promissory note receivable as at March 31, 2022 is nil (March 31, 2021 - $99,346). |

Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities [Text Block] | 8. Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities The Company has recorded Right of Use Assets and Lease Liabilities in its consolidated statement of financial position related to properties in California for which the Company has entered into lease agreements that expired in more than one year at the inception of the leases. These leases are in a single class of Right of Use Assets, whose carrying value at March 31, 2022 was $116,678 (March 31, 2021 - $355,178). Rental payments on the Right of Use Assets are discounted using an 8% rate of interest and capitalized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as Lease Liabilities. The value of the Right of Use Assets is determined at lease inception and include the capitalized lease liabilities, incorporate upfront costs incurred and incentives received, and the value is depreciated over the term of the lease. For the year ended March 31, 2022 the Company incurred interest expense of $18,321 (2021 - $39,432; 2020 - $56,614) on the Lease Liabilities, recognized depreciation expense of $233,500 (2021 - $265,013; 2020 - $251,787) on the Right of Use Assets and made total rental payments of $284,363 (2021 - $311,899; 2020 - $288,188). Additions to Right of Use Assets during the year was nil (2021 - nil). For one of the leases there is an option to extend the lease for a further 36 months. March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021 Right of Use Assets, beginning of year $ 355,178 $ 620,191 Additions - - Depreciation (233,500 ) (265,013 ) Transfer to Deposit (5,000 ) - Right of Use Assets, end of year $ 116,678 $ 355,178 The following table summarizes payments on GreenPower's Lease Liabilities (undiscounted): 1 year $ 122,420 thereafter - less amount representing interest expense (1,811 ) Lease liability 120,609 Current Portion of Lease Liabilities 120,609 Long Term Portion of Lease Liabilities $ - Payments on leases that were classified as short-term leases for the year ended March 31, 2022 totaled $132,500 (2021 - $65,708, 2020 - $48,942). Payments on short term leases are recognized in office expense, and remaining payments on short term leases as at March 31, 2022 total $73,883. On March 3, 2022 GreenPower entered into a two-year lease of an office space in Rancho Cucamonga, California with a commencement date that began on June 1, 2022 and annual lease payments of $96,960. On the commencement date of the lease GreenPower will recognize the lease liability and associated right of use asset on its consolidated financial statements. |

Disclosure of detailed information about financial instruments [abstract] | |
Financial Instruments [Text Block] | 17. Financial Instruments The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable, finance lease receivables, promissory note receivable, line of credit, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, promissory note payable, payroll protection loan, other liabilities, and lease liabilities. Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liabilities either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Inputs that are not based on observable market data The Company does not currently hold any financial instruments measured at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value, unless otherwise noted. Overview The Company has exposure to the following financial instrument related risks. Credit risk The Company's exposure to credit risk is on its cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable, promissory note receivable, and on its finance lease receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is their carrying amounts in the consolidated statement of Financial Statements. Cash and restricted cash consists of cash bank balances held in major financial institutions in Canada and the United States with a high credit quality and therefore the Company is exposed to minimal risk. The Company assesses the credit risk of its account receivable, finance lease receivables and promissory note receivable at each reporting period end and on an annual basis. As at March 31, 2022 the Company recognized an allowance for credit losses of $44,579 (2021 - $35,639) against its accounts receivable (Note 4), and nil (2021 - $344,737) for its promissory note receivable (Note 7). During the year ended March 31, 2022 the Company recognized an impairment of $43,261 on accounts receivable related to one finance lease (2021 - $nil). Liquidity risk The Company tries to ensure that there is sufficient capital in order to meet short-term business requirements, after taking into account the Company's cash balances and available liquidity on the Company's $8 million operating line of credit. The Company's cash is invested in bank accounts at major financial institutions in Canada and the United States and is available on demand. The Company will continue to rely on additional financings to further its operations and meet its capital requirements. The following table summarizes the Company's financial commitments by maturity as at March 31, 2022: March 31, 2022 Less than 3 months 3 to 12 months One to five years Line of credit (Note 1) $ 5,766,379 $ - $ - Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 1,734,225 - - Lease liabilities 30,605 91,815 - Other liabilities 2,142 6,425 34,265 $ 7,533,351 $ 98,240 $ 34,265 (1) Market risks Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates and foreign exchange. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk with respect to its Line of Credit (Note 10). The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk as it conducts business in both the United States and Canada. Management monitors its foreign currency balances, but the Company does not engage in any hedging activities to reduce its foreign currency risk. At March 31, 2022, the Company was exposed to currency risk through the following financial assets and liabilities in CDN Dollars. Cash $ 762,259 Accounts Receivable $ 80,843 Lease Finance Receivable $ 96,673 Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities $ (437,858 ) The CDN/USD exchange rate as at March 31, 2022 was $0.8003 (March 31, 2021 - $0.7952). Based on the net exposure and assuming all other variables remain constant, a 10% change in the appreciation or depreciation of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar would result in a change of approximately $40,200 to other comprehensive income/loss. |

Disclosure Of Restatement [Abstract] | |
Restatement [Text Block] | 26. Restatement On adoption of IFRS 16 Leases, management performed an evaluation of the components of revenue and cost of sales at lease inception for leases that were determined to be finance leases. In this initial determination, management excluded the present value of the purchase option on finance leases from revenue and instead recorded the present value of the purchase option against cost of sales. After discussion with experts and further consideration of interpretations of IFRS 16, the Company has changed its determination of revenue and cost of sales at lease inception for finance leases to include the present value of the purchase option on finance leases. In addition, the Company has identified an error in the calculation of revenue and cost of sales associated with cancelled leases and subsequent vehicle sales that took place in the year ended March 31, 2020. The Company has corrected these errors and restated the presentation of revenue and cost of sales in its consolidated revenue and cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, as noted below. There was no impact on operating income or net income from these changes, and no changes in working capital, assets, liabilities and cash flow. For the years ended, March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Revenue as previously stated $ 11,884,578 $ 13,500,403 Restatement to revenue 1,401,606 896,755 Revenue as restated $ 13,286,184 $ 14,397,158 Cost of Sales as previously stated $ 8,304,438 $ 9,447,578 Restatement to cost of sales 1,401,606 896,755 Cost of Sales as restated $ 9,706,044 $ 10,344,333 |

Disclosure Of Nonadjusting Events After Reporting Period Abstract | |
Events After the Reporting Period [Text Block] | 27. Events After the Reporting Period Subsequent to the end of the reporting period the Company issued 3,322 shares to employees of GreenPower, pursuant to the exercise of 3,322 stock options at a weighted average price of CDN $3.37 per option, for gross proceeds of CDN $11,204. In addition, subsequent to the end of the quarter a total of 5,357 options exercisable at $5.25 per share expired unexercised and a total of 42,536 options exercisable at a weighted average price of $14.25 per share were forfeited. As at March 31, 2022 the Company had a restricted cash balance of $53,553 on deposit at a major financial institution in the United States (Note 3) which was returned to the Company subsequent to the year-end. On March 3, 2022 GreenPower entered into a two-year lease of an office space in Rancho Cucamonga, California with a commencement date that began on May 1, 2022. On the commencement date of the lease GreenPower will recognize the lease liability and associated right of use asset on its consolidated financial statements. The payments under this lease are $8,080 per month. Effective April 19, 2022, GreenPower adopted the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2022 Plan"), which replaced the 2019 Plan and after this date no further stock options will be granted under the 2019 Plan. Under the 2022 Plan the Company can grant equity-based incentive awards in the form of stock options ("Options"), restricted share units ("RSUs"), performance share units ("PSUs") and deferred share units ("DSUs"). RSU's, DSU's and PSU's are collectively referred to as "Performance Based Awards". The 2022 Plan is a Rolling Plan for Options and a fixed-plan for Performance-Based Awards such that the aggregate number of Shares that: (i) may be issued upon the exercise or settlement of Options granted under the 2022 Plan (and all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements), shall not exceed 10% of the Company's issued and outstanding Shares from time to time, and (ii) may be issued in respect of Performance-Based Awards granted under the 2022 Plan (and all of the Company's other Security-Based Compensation Arrangements) shall not exceed 2,314,803. The 2022 Plan is considered an "evergreen" plan, since Options which have been exercised, cancelled, terminated, surrendered, forfeited or expired without being exercised shall be available for subsequent grants under the 2022 Plan and the number of awards available to grant increases as the number of issued and outstanding Shares increases. On May 2, 2022 GreenPower entered into a contract of lease-purchase with the South Charleston Development Authority (the "Lessor") for a six acre parcel of land including an 80,000 square foot manufacturing facility with Additional Parcels to be acquired bordering the property totaling approximately five acres, in South Charleston, West Virginia. Occupancy of the property is scheduled for August 2022 and the term of the lease-purchase contract is sixteen years. Under the terms of the contract, monthly payments of $50,000 will begin nine months after the occupancy date and applied against the $6.7 million without the Additional Parcels or $8.0 million if the Additional Parcels are acquired by the Lessor. Subject to meeting employment targets at the property, GreenPower is eligible for forgiveness of up to $1,300,000 for the initial target and then $500,000 for every 100 employees thereafter, and title to the property, including the Additional Parcels if applicable, will transfer to GreenPower upon payment of the total loan amount less any applicable loan forgiveness. On the commencement date of the lease GreenPower will recognize the lease liability and associated asset on its consolidated financial statements. During May and June, 2022 GreenPower received 5 loans totaling CAD$2,325,000 from a company that is beneficially owned by the CEO and Chairman of the Company. The loans bear interest at 12.0% per annum plus such additional bonus interest, if any, as may be agreed to and approved by GreenPower's Board of Directors at a later date. The loans mature on the earlier of (i) the date that the Borrower completes a debt or equity financing, (ii) from receipt of excess proceeds on the sale of buses or (iii) March 31, 2023. The Company has agreed to grant the lender a general security assignment on the assets of GreenPower Motor Company Inc., which will be subordinated to any security assignment of senior lenders. |

Disclosure Of Detailed Information About Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of presentation [Policy Text Block] | (a) Basis of presentation Statement of Compliance with IFRS These annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021, and March 31, 2020 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"). These consolidated financial statements are presented on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL") or as fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI"), in U.S. dollars. In addition, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies. On August 28, 2020 the Company completed a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of seven pre-consolidation shares for one post-consolidation common share. On the same date, the Company's post-consolidation common shares began trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange and ceased trading on the OTCQB exchange in the US, and the post-consolidation shares continued trading on the TSX Venture exchange in Canada. All references to share and per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated to give effect to this share consolidation unless otherwise stated. |

Certain information and note disclosures which are considered material to the understanding of the Company's consolidated financial statements are provided below. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date when such control ceases. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. |
Financial instruments Classification [Policy Text Block] | (c) Financial instruments Classification IFRS 9 requires a company to classify its financial instruments based on the way they are measured, into one of three categories: Amortized Cost, FVTPL, and FVOCI. In determining the appropriate category for financial assets, a company must consider whether it intends to hold the financial assets and collect the contractual cash flows or to collect the cash flows and sell financial assets (the "business model test") and whether the contractual cash flows of an asset are solely payments of principal and interest (the "SPPI test"). i. Amortized Cost All of the Company's financial instruments, initially recognized at fair value, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are included in the initial fair value measurement of the financial instruments, and the Company incorporates the expected credit loss in financial assets on a forward-looking basis. The Company will, at a minimum, recognize 12 month expected losses in profit or loss, and if a significant increase in credit risk occurs after initial recognition, lifetime expected losses will be recognized. The Company has issued convertible debentures that can be converted into shares of the Company at the option of the holder, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in their fair value. The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognized initially at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognized initially as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts. Subsequent to the initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured subsequent to initial recognition. Interest, dividends, losses and gains relating to the financial liability are recognized in profit or loss. When the conversion option is exercised, the carrying amount of the liability is recorded as share capital and the equity component of the compound financial instrument is transferred to share capital. When the Company extinguishes convertible debentures before maturity through early redemption or repurchase where the conversion option is unchanged, the Company allocates the consideration paid and any transaction costs for the repurchase or redemption to the liability and equity components of the instrument at the date of settlement. The method used in allocating the consideration paid and transaction costs to the separate components is consistent with the method used in the original allocation to the separate components of the proceeds received by the entity when the convertible instrument was issued. The amount of gain or loss relating to the early redemption or repurchase of the liability component is recognized in profit or loss. The amount of consideration relating to the equity component is recognized in equity. ii. FVTPL Financial liabilities classified as FVTPL are measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized through the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not have any liabilities classified as FVTPL as at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. Derivative financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at their fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at each reporting period with changes in the fair value recognized in profit and loss. Derivative financial assets and liabilities include warrants purchased or issued by the Company denominated in a currency other than the Company's functional currency. As at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company did not have any derivative financial assets or liabilities. iii. FVOCI Certain debt instrument assets must be classified as FVOCI unless the option to FVTPL is taken and the FVOCI classification is an election for equity assets. The Company did not have any debt or equity assets classified as FVOCI as at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. For debt instruments measured at FVOCI, interest income (calculated using the effective interest rate method), foreign currency gains or losses and impairment gains or losses are recognized directly in profit or loss. The difference between cumulative fair value gains or losses and the cumulative amounts recognized in profit or loss is recognized in OCI until derecognition, when the amounts in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss. For equity instruments designated as FVOCI only dividend income is recognized in profit or loss with all other gains and losses recognized in OCI and there is no reclassification on derecognition. Measurement All of the Company's financial instruments, initially recognized at fair value, are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Transaction costs are included in the initial fair value measurement of the financial instruments. Impairment The Company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit loss associated with financial assets measured at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the receivables, which is recorded as an allowance for credit losses. Losses are recognized in profit or loss and reflected in an allowance account against receivables. When a subsequent event causes the amount of impairment loss to decrease, the decrease in impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. As at March 31, 2022, the Company recognized an allowance for credit losses of $44,579 (2021 - $35,639) (Note 4). For financial assets that are measured at amortized cost, the Company will, at a minimum, recognize 12 month expected losses in profit or loss, calculated as the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. As at March 31, 2022 the Company recognized an allowance for credit losses of nil (2021 - $344,737) on its promissory note receivable. Lifetime expected losses will be recognized on assets for which there is a significant increase in credit risk after initial recognition. During the year ended March 31, 2022 the Company recognized an impairment of $43,261 on accounts receivable related to one finance lease (2021 - $nil). |
Cash and cash equivalents [Policy Text Block] | (d) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents usually consist of highly liquid investments which are readily convertible into cash with maturity of three months or less and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. As at March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 the Company had no cash equivalents. |
Revenue recognition [Policy Text Block] | (e) Revenue recognition The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers when a customer obtains control of the goods or services, and the Company satisfies its performance obligation to customers in exchange for consideration the Company expects to receive, net of discounts and taxes. Revenue is allocated to each performance obligation. Most of the Company's contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods. Revenues from the sale of products are recognized when the goods are shipped or accepted by the customer, depending on the delivery conditions, and title and risk have passed to the customer. Revenues from services such as supporting and training relating to the sale of products are recognized as the services are performed. The Company also has not historically, but may in the future, earn product repair and maintenance revenues, which may relate to warranty contracts, which would be recognized over the periods and according to the terms of the warranty or other contract. The Company would recognize an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the costs to be recoverable and has determined that such costs meet the requirements to be capitalized. Capitalized contract acquisition costs are amortized consistent with the pattern of transfer to the customer for the goods and services to which the asset relates. The Company does not capitalize incremental costs of obtaining contracts if the amortization period is one year or less. |
Impairment of long-lived assets [Policy Text Block] | (f) Impairment of long-lived assets At the end of each reporting period, the Company's assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm's length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Foreign currency translation [Policy Text Block] | (g) Foreign currency translation The consolidated entities and their respective functional currencies are as follows: Entity Functional Currency GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (parent) U.S. Dollar GP GreenPower Industries Inc. Canadian Dollar GreenPower Motor Company, Inc. U.S. Dollar 0939181 BC Ltd. Canadian Dollar San Joaquin Valley Equipment Leasing, Inc. U.S. Dollar 0999314 B.C. Ltd. Canadian Dollar Electric Vehicle Logistics Inc. U.S. Dollar GreenPower Manufacturing WV Inc. U.S. Dollar Lion Truck Body Incorporated U.S. Dollar EA GreenPower Private Ltd. U.S. Dollar GreenPower Motor Company Inc. (parent) changed its functional currency from the Canadian dollar to the US dollar effective April 1, 2019 due to the significant US dollar denominated liabilities of the entity, the significant amount of financing raised that is denominated in US dollars, the portion of the Company's expenses denominated in US dollars, and the expectation that all of these factors are expected to increase over time. The change in functional currency of this entity did not have a material impact on the financial results of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2020. Translation to functional currency Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate in effect at the measurement date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the historical exchange rate or the exchange rate in effect at the measurement date for items recognized at FVTPL. Gains and losses arising from foreign exchange are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Translation to presentation currency The results and financial position of those entities with a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: - - - Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising on translation of foreign operations are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income / loss. On disposal of a foreign operation (that is, a disposal of the Company's entire interest in a foreign operation, or a disposal involving loss of control over a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation) all exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation attributable to the equity holders of the Company are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income/loss to net income/loss for the period. |
Inventory [Policy Text Block] | (h) Inventory Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value with cost determined on a specific item basis. The Company's inventory consists of electric buses in process, production supplies, and finished goods. In determining net realizable value for new buses, the Company primarily considers the age of the vehicles along with the timing of annual and model changeovers. For used buses, the Company considers recent market data and trends such as loss histories along with the current age of the inventory. |
Property, plant, and equipment [Policy Text Block] | (i) Property, plant, and equipment Property, plant and equipment ("PPE") are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The cost of an item of PPE consists of the purchase price, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for its intended use and an initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of PPE, less their estimated residual value, using the following rates/estimated lives and methods: Leasehold improvements Over term of lease, straight line method Computers 3 years, straight line method EV equipment 3 years, straight line method Furniture 7 years, straight line method Automobiles 5-10 years, straight line method Leased asset 12 years, straight line method Buses 12 years, straight line method An item of PPE is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on disposal of the asset, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Where an item of PPE comprises major components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of PPE. Expenditures incurred to replace a component of an item of PPE is accounted for separately, including major inspection and overhaul expenditures are capitalized. |
Loss per share [Policy Text Block] | (j) Loss per share The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti- dilutive. |
Share capital [Policy Text Block] | (k) Share capital Common shares are classified as equity. Finders fees and other related share issue costs, such as legal, regulatory, and printing, on the issue of the Company's shares are charged directly to share capital, net of any tax effects. During the years ended March 31, 2022, March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 the Company recorded $27,329, $2,948,718 and $463,411 respectively in share issuance costs on its Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity (Deficit) in regards to the issuance of shares (Note 11). |
Income taxes [Policy Text Block] | (l) Income taxes Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current and deferred tax are recognized in net income/loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive loss/income. Current income taxes are recognized for the estimated income taxes payable or receivable on taxable income or loss for the current period and any adjustment to income taxes payable in respect to previous years. Current income taxes are determined using tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized where the carrying amount of an asset or liability differs from its tax base, except for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill and temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Recognition of deferred tax assets for unused tax losses, tax credits, and deductible temporary differences is restricted to those instances where it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilized. At the end of each reporting period the Company reassesses deferred tax assets. The Company will recognize a previously unrecognized deferred tax asset to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. |
Critical accounting estimates and judgments [Policy Text Block] | (m) Critical accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates. These consolidated financial statements include estimates which, by their nature, are uncertain. The impacts of such estimates are pervasive throughout the consolidated financial statements and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. Revisions to critical accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. These estimates are based on historical experience, current and future economic conditions and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, determination of the useful life of equipment, the carrying value of accounts receivable and promissory note receivable and the associated allowance for credit losses, net realizable value of inventory, provision for warranty expense, and the $nil provision for income taxes. Critical accounting judgments i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi. |
Share-based payment transactions [Policy Text Block] | (n) Share-based payment transactions The Company grants share-based awards to certain officers, employees, directors and other eligible persons. The fair value of the equity-settled awards is determined at the date of the grant. In calculating fair value, no account is taken of any vesting conditions, other than conditions linked to the price of the shares of the Company. Each tranche in an award is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value is determined by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. At each financial reporting date, the cumulative expense representing the extent to which the vesting period has expired and management's best estimate of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest is computed. The movement in cumulative expense is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations with a corresponding entry against the related equity settled share-based payments reserve account over the vesting period. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest. If the awards expire unexercised, the related amount remains in share-option reserve. Where equity instruments are granted to non-employees, they are recorded at the fair value of the goods or services received in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, unless they are related to the issuance of shares. Amounts related to the issuance of shares are recorded as a reduction of share capital. When the value of goods or services received in exchange for the share-based payment cannot be reliably estimated, the fair value is measured by use of a valuation model. The fair value of stock options granted to non-employees is re-measured at the earlier of each financial reporting or vesting date, and any adjustment is charged or credited to operations upon re-measurement. |
Valuation of equity units issued in private placements [Policy Text Block] | (o) Valuation of equity units issued in private placements The Company has adopted a residual value method with respect to the measurement of shares and warrants issued as private placement units. The residual value method first allocates value to the more easily measurable component based on fair value and then the residual value, if any, to the less easily measurable component. The fair value of the common shares issued in the private placement was determined to be the more easily measurable component and were valued at their fair value, as determined by the closing quoted bid price on the announcement date. The balance, if any, is allocated to the attached warrants. Any fair value attributed to the warrants is recorded as warrant reserve. If the warrants are exercised, the related amount is reclassified as share capital. If the warrants expire unexercised, the related amount remains in warrant reserve. |
Government grants [Policy Text Block] | (p) Government grants Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Company will comply with all conditions related to the grant. The grant without specified future performance conditions is recognized in income when the grant proceeds are receivable. A grant that imposes specified future performance conditions is recognized in income when those conditions are met. Government grants in the form of forgivable loans are treated as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will meet the terms of the forgiveness of the loan |
Provisions and contingent liabilities [Policy Text Block] | (q) Provisions and contingent liabilities Provisions are recognized when present obligations as a result of a past event will probably lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Company and amounts can be estimated reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation, based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Provisions are discounted when the time value of money is significant. |
Leases [Policy Text Block] | (r) Leases Definition of a lease At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient to account for leases for which the lease term ends within 12 months of the date of initial application and leases of low value assets as short-term leases. The lease payments associated with these leases are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As a lessee The Company recognizes a right of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right of use asset is initially measured at cost, based on the initial amount of the lease liability. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right of use asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, at the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The ongoing lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is re- measured when there is a change in future lease payments, if there is a change in the Company's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the Company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right of use asset or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right of use asset has been reduced to zero. As a lessor When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset. If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract. Amounts due from lessees under finance leases are recorded as finance lease receivables at the amount of the Company's net investment in the leases. Finance lease income is allocated to accounting periods so as to reflect a constant periodic rate of return on the Company's net investment in the lease. The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term, included in Revenue in the consolidated statements of operations. |
Adoption of accounting standards [Policy Text Block] | (s) Adoption of accounting standards No new or amended standards were adopted during the year ended March 31, 2022. |
Future accounting pronouncements [Policy Text Block] | (t) Future accounting pronouncements Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published by the IASB or the IFRS Interpretations Committee that are not mandatory for the March 31, 2022 reporting period, as follows: IAS 37 - Onerous Contracts The amendments to IAS 37 specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. The amendments to IAS 37 specify which costs an entity includes in determining the cost of fulfilling a contract for the purpose of assessing whether the contract is onerous. These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current The amendments to IAS1 provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual arrangements in place at the reporting date. These amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The Company has reviewed new and revised accounting pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective. The Company has not early adopted any of these standards and is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that these standards might have on its consolidated financial statements. |
