B.C.'s EV charger rebate program

CleanBC Go Electric rebates for homes and workplaces

BC Hydro works with the Government of B.C. and FortisBC to offer provincial rebates for the purchase and installation of electric vehicle (EV) chargers and infrastructure to get homes and workplaces across B.C. ready for EVs. There are currently no rebate offers available, but check back in April for program updates.

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.

Single family homes

If the program reopens, it would offer single-family homes a rebate of up to 50% of the purchase and installation costs of an eligible Level 2 EV charger, to a maximum of $350 to $700 (exact rebate amount subject to funding approval). This includes duplexes or townhouses with private garages or dedicated parking.

Apartment and condo buildings

If the program reopens, it would offer two provincial rebate options to help apartment and condo buildings get ready to support EVs.

EV Ready rebates

You could apply for these rebates together to streamline the EV-related upgrades to your building, or you could apply for them one at a time as your project progresses.

• EV Ready plan rebate: A rebate of up to $3,000 for the creation of an EV Ready plan – a professional strategy for your building to make at least one parking space per residential unit EV Ready.
• EV Ready infrastructure rebate: A rebate of up to $600 per parking space to install the electrical infrastructure required to implement your EV Ready plan, to a maximum of $80,000.
• EV charger rebate: A rebate of up to $1,400 to $3,400 per charger (exact rebate amount subject to funding approval) to purchase and install Level 2 networked EV chargers to implement your building’s EV Ready plan, to a maximum of $14,000.

Standalone EV charger rebate

EV charger rebate: A rebate of up to $2,000 to $4,000 per charger (exact rebate amount subject to funding approval) to purchase and install Level 2 networked EV chargers at your building’s residential parking spaces, to a maximum of $14,000.

Workplaces

If the program reopens, it would offer workplaces a rebate of up to $2,000 to $4,000 per charger (exact rebate amount subject to funding approval) to purchase and install eligible Level 2 networked EV chargers for employee use, to a maximum of $14,000. Pre-approval from BC Hydro is required prior to purchasing and/or installing chargers.

Eligible workplace organizations can have separate applications for different locations, up to a maximum of four.
