EV Charging Rebates & Incentives

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) offers 50-75% subsidies to Canadian private and public sector companies for the installation of EV charging stations. With a focus on public places, street parking, multi-residential buildings, workplaces and for fleet vehicles, the subsidy will cover up to 50-75% of the total project costs. Projects are selected through a competitive process.

In order to encourage the adoption of ZEVs by Canadians and Canadian businesses, the Government of Canada launched the Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) Program in May 2019. There are many different makes and models of eligible vehicles for purchase or lease (over 12 months) that offer eligible consumers with an incentive of up to $5,000.

The Government of Canada knows that the higher upfront purchase cost of medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicles (MHZEVs) can make it difficult to adopt this clean technology. The Incentives for Medium- Heavy-duty Zero-Emission Vehicles (iMHZEV) Program is helping to make it more affordable.

Government of Canada announced the Zero Emission Trucking Program (ZETP) as part of a suite of initiatives announced in the March 2022 Emissions Reduction Plan. The ZETP was allocated $75.8 million over five years, starting in 2022-23, to accelerate the safe deployment of Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles (MHZEV) on Canadian roads through research and deployments.
