B.C.'s EV charger rebate program

CleanBC Go Electric rebates for homes and workplaces

The EV charger rebate program for homes, workplaces, and multi-unit residential buildings has successfully supported British Columbians in making clean transportation choices.

Funded by the Government of B.C.'s Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation, and with financial support from the Government of Canada, BC Hydro administers the CleanBC Go Electric electric vehicle (EV) charger rebate program. The program provides rebates for the purchase and installation of electric vehicle (EV) chargers and infrastructure to get homes and workplaces across B.C. ready for EVs.

This program is part of the province's CleanBC plan to make clean transportation more affordable and accessible for British Columbians. Visit Go Electric to learn more about the plan and read the full strategy.
