What rebates are available for home charging?

For a home charging station, the most accessible incentive is the $600 rebate offered through the residential tier of the Écorecharge program, which took over from Roulez vert on March 17, 2026, and covers the purchase and installation of a certified Level 2 charger.

The amount you can get depends on your profile — homeowner, multi-unit co-owner, or business — and can often be stacked with a municipal rebate. The table below breaks down the main incentives by profile.

Steps to get the Écorecharge rebate for an EV charging station in Quebec

Rebate for Chargers in Multi-Unit Buildings or Condos

Who can apply for a multi-unit charging rebate?

The building owner, a condo association, or in some cases, a tenant with the owner's written authorization.


How much is the rebate for a multi-unit charger?

Up to $5,000 per station, covering 50% of eligible expenses.


What expenses are eligible for the multi-unit rebate?

The charging station itself, the required electrical infrastructure, and in some cases, energy management software.


What is the non-fragmentation rule for multi-unit rebate applications?

Only one application is accepted per project — you cannot split a single project into multiple separate applications. For example, a condo association installing 10 stations in the same parking area must submit one application for the entire project, even if the stations are installed on different dates or invoiced separately.

Rebates for Businesses and Organizations

Écorecharge business stream

Businesses, municipalities, and organizations can receive funding covering 50% of eligible expenses for purchasing and installing Level 2 or DC fast charging stations.


Funding for infrastructure analysis and upgrade projects

Funding is also available for electrification analysis projects before charger installation.


Stacking with federal tax credits

Federal tax credits may apply depending on the business's situation; confirm exact amounts with a tax advisor, and no figures are provided here without official confirmation.


No matter your profile — homeowner, multi-unit co-owner, or business — the Écorecharge program makes installing a charger significantly more affordable, with funding that can cover up to half the project cost. The process is the same in every case: it's done online, through the Government of Quebec, and can often be combined with a municipal rebate. With the residential tier set to end in March 2028, it's worth planning your project before conditions change.
