B.C.'s EV charger rebate program

CleanBC Go Electric rebates for homes and workplaces

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.
