Canada's federal home-charger rebate ended, but several provinces and utilities still pay real money toward home charging - in Quebec and BC, often half the install. Here is the 2026 map.
Province by province
| Province | Program | Amount | Notes (Nov 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| British Columbia | CleanBC Go Electric (via BC Hydro / FortisBC) | Up to 50% of costs, max $350 single-family; higher for condos/apartments | Active; apartment/condo rebates are the generous tier - per-stall funding for buildings |
| Quebec | Roulez vert (Transition energetique) | $600 toward charger + install | Active; charger must be on the eligible list, install by licensed electrician (mandatory in QC anyway) |
| Ontario | No provincial rebate; utility programs only | Toronto Hydro and others run pilots; Enbridge/other managed-charging trials | Check your local utility - pilots open and close |
| Alberta | No provincial program | - | Municipal pilots occasionally appear (Edmonton/Calgary) |
| Manitoba | Efficiency Manitoba | Financing and periodic charger incentives | Check current offers |
| Atlantic provinces | Provincial EV programs (NS, NB, PEI, NL) | Mostly vehicle rebates; charger support via utilities in NS and NB | Small programs, first-come funding |
| Territories | Yukon leads with an active rebate | Yukon: up to $750 for home charger + install | Active; one of the strongest per-capita programs in Canada |
Program details from provincial program pages and utility sites, November 2026. Quebec and BC figures are the headline residential tiers; income and building-type tiers differ.
The federal layer
The federal iZEV program focused on vehicles, not chargers, and its funding status has shifted - do not count on a federal home-charger rebate in 2026. The relevant federal-ish support is for workplaces and multi-unit buildings through NRCan's ZEVIP stream, which funds up to 50% of charger projects for condos, apartments and workplaces. If your condo board is stalling on chargers, ZEVIP funding is the lever that changes the math.
Quebec worked example
| Line | Amount |
|---|---|
| Eligible charger + licensed install | $1,400 |
| Roulez vert rebate | -$600 |
| Net cost | $800 + taxes |
| Annual fuel saving vs gas (Hydro-Quebec rates, 20,000 km) | ~$1,600 |
At Quebec's ~$0.10/kWh residential rate, home charging is so cheap that the rebate is gravy - the install pays back inside a year of driving either way.
Condo and apartment dwellers
BC's CleanBC and federal ZEVIP both fund building-level installations, which matters because getting chargers into shared parkades is the hard version of home charging: electrical capacity, cost-splitting bylaws and owner votes. The practical path is a building EV plan (load management first, chargers second) funded partly by these programs. Start with our renter and condo guide for the negotiation side.
Claiming tips
- Buy an eligible unit. Quebec maintains a specific approved list; BC references ENERGY STAR / networked criteria. Check before checkout.
- Keep every invoice. Programs reimburse after install; they want the electrician's invoice (and in Quebec, proof of licensed work) and photos of the installed unit.
- Watch for stacking rules. Provincial + utility usually stack; two provincial programs never do.
- Cold-climate note. Spec a unit rated to at least -30°C for outdoor mounting - several popular US-market chargers are not.
