3. Efficiency Nova Scotia’s electric vehicle charging station rebates

Thanks to the Province of Nova Scotia, Efficiency NS provides rebates for electric vehicle (EV) chargers to owners of multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs).

There are two EV programs to explore:

The EV-Ready Approach

This program helps building owners plan and implement a strategy that prepares their buildings for EV charging now and in the future, where most of their building residents will require EV charging. It has two rebate components:

    • The first is the EV Ready Plan rebate that helps participants develop a long–term EV charging strategy.
    • The second is the EV Ready Charger rebate that supports the installation of eligible charging stations according to an EV Ready Plan.

A building that is ‘EV Ready’ has an electrical outlet installed in each resident’s parking space that provides an electrical connection point for installing a level 2 charging station in the future.

For a building to ensure it gets EV Ready in the best way possible, participants will be required to hire an approved consultant to prepare an EV Ready Plan.

The EV Ready Plan is a guide for the EV charging infrastructure. It helps ensure the charging infrastructure can adapt to meet the long-term charging needs and guides the building to achieve EV Ready over time.

Download the EV Ready Approach Program Guide

The Standalone EV Charger
  • This program assists with the building’s initial stations to support early adopters or if the building has smaller, straightforward charging requirements.
  • It doesn’t provide the same rebates that the EV Ready Charger does.

Rebates

Saskatchewan

 

Home EV charging station rebates in Saskatchewan

Currently, there is no subsidy for the purchase and installation of a home charging station in Saskatchewan. However, as part of the new iZEV program, the Government of Canada is offering discounts of up to $ 5,000 for the purchase or for the purchase or rental of eligible zero-emission vehicles (ZEV). The discount is applied directly to the price of the sticker at the dealership at the time of purchase or rental.

For example, the Government of Canada considers the following vehicles to be ZEVs:

  • battery-electric
  • plug-in hybrid electric
  • hydrogen fuel cell

About ZEVIP

Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program funding for owners and operators of charging and refueling infrastructure

Since 2016, Canada has invested over $1 billion to make EVs more affordable and chargers more accessible for Canadians. These investments are supporting the establishment of a coast-to-coast network of chargers in local areas where Canadians live, work, and play, while federal rebates of up to $5,000 are helping more Canadians make the switch to an EV.

Budget 2019 and the 2020 Fall Economic Statement committed $280 million to ZEVIP over 5 years to support the deployment of 33,500 electric vehicle chargers and 10 hydrogen refuelling stations in public places, on-street, in multi-unit residential buildings and at workplaces, as well as strategic infrastructure projects for urban delivery and fleet applications.

Budget 2022 further recapitalized ZEVIP with an additional $400 million, and extended the program to March 31, 2027, complemented by $500 million that Canada’s Infrastructure Bank will invest in large-scale ZEV charging and refuelling infrastructure that is revenue generating and in the public interest. The Government of Canada’s ZEV charging and refuelling infrastructure targets are currently 84,500 chargers and 45 hydrogen stations to be deployed by 2029.

 

Introduction

Launched in 2019, the Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) is a $680 million program that addresses a key barrier to the adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEV)—the lack of charging and refuelling stations in Canada— by increasing the availability of localized charging and hydrogen refuelling opportunities where Canadians live, work, and play.

This Request for Proposals (RFP) is currently closed for applications. The next annual RFP is planned for Spring 2024*.

*RFP timelines are subject to change and the ZEVIP application guide supersedes information on this webpage.

Eligibility criteria

Eligible applicants

To be considered for funding under ZEVIP, applicants must be legal entities validly incorporated or registered in Canada or abroad, including not-for-profit and for-profit organizations such as:

  • academic institutions
  • provincial, territorial, regional, or municipal governments or their departments or agencies where applicable

The following are not eligible for funding support under ZEVIP:

  •  Individuals or any part of federal public administration, including departments, Crown corporations and agencies
  •  Softwood lumber companies and those that are vertically integrated with them

Note: Projects must be submitted by the organization (the Proponent) that will own the infrastructure and that will be incurring the bulk of the expenditures. Proof of eligible expenditures for reimbursement needs to be under the name of the Proponent.

Eligible projects

To be considered for funding, projects must meet the following requirements:

  • Increase localized charging or hydrogen refuelling opportunities in public places, on-street, in multi-unit residential buildings, at workplaces, or for vehicle fleets.
  • The work performed must be in compliance with all applicable local codes (for example, building and electrical) and bylaws (for example, zoning and parking).
  • For EV charging infrastructure projects, your proposal must include:
    1. A minimum of one (1) charger of 200 kW and above; or
    2. A minimum of two (2) fast chargers of 50 kW and above; or
    3. A minimum of twenty (20) chargers of all charging levels.
  • For Level 2 chargers, each connector can count as a unit towards the minimum of 20 chargers if each connector can charge a vehicle at the same time.
  • Fast chargers with multiple connectors and capable of charging multiple vehicles simultaneously and independently at a given output level may be eligible to receive additional funding. The funding amount of multi-connector chargers will be based on the maximum simultaneous output level of operating connectors.
  • 25% or more of the connector types installed at the same project site must be universal charging connectors (J1772, J1772 Combo) of the same category (i.e. Level 2 or fast charger). Other proprietary connector types may represent the remaining 75% of all charging connectors installed.
  • For hydrogen refuelling projects, the station must be capable of dispensing hydrogen at 350 bar minimum for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and 700 bar minimum for light-duty vehicles.
