Plug In BC is a program of the Fraser Basin Council and works in collaboration with government, industry, academic institutions, EV owners, NGOs and utilities to advance the uptake of electric vehicles in British Columbia.

New EV Ready rebates as Province doubles rebates for home, workplace charging.

Home and workplace charging station rebates are offered through CleanBC’s Go Electric EV Charger Rebate and EV Ready programs. The rebates are administered by BC Hydro and FortisBC in their respective service areas. Find more information and application links through the CleanBC Go Electric Rebates Page.

British Columbians can receive double the amount per rebate to buy and install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at home and at work. That means rebates up to $700 are available for 50% of the cost to purchase and install charging stations purchased in detached single-family homes, duplexes, and townhouses with their own garages or dedicated parking. 

Workplaces and residents in condos or apartments can receive a rebate up to 50% of costs to a maximum of $4,000 per charger purchased and installed.

Additionally the Province is supporting the adoption of EVs at apartment and condo buildings through the EV Ready program. EV Ready provides rebates for the development of EV Ready plans and the installation of electrical modifications and upgrades needed to support widespread future access to EV charging for residents.
