2025 charging station subsidies: provincial and federal programs

As we all know, there are many subsidies available for the purchase of an electric vehicle. But there are also subsidies for charging stations! Going electric is a great way to save on fuel, since the cost of electricity is considerably lower. If you want to charge your EV at home, you’ll definitely need a home charging station, and that comes with a cost. It’s true that installing a home charging station or one in an apartment building can seem costly. However, numerous subsidy programs make this expense much more accessible. In 2025, a number of financial assistance programs are in place, both provincially and federally. Let’s take a look at the subsidies available for charging stations in 2025.

ROULEZ VERT PROGRAM (QUEBEC)

This program offers up to $600 in financial assistance for the purchase and installation of a Level 2 home charging station. Conditions: the charging station must be new, professionally installed and certified by the program. If you do business with us at BEQ Technology, you automatically meet all these criteria! We offer only new, program-certified products, and have the largest network of certified installers in the country! So you can enjoy peace of mind and benefit from your subsidy.

For multi-unit buildings, additional assistance is available through the “Financial assistance for a multi-unit charging station” component. With this assistance, you can obtain up to $5,000 for each charging station installed. Given that more and more people are turning to multi-dwellings and condos, it goes without saying that this subsidy is highly attractive.

MUNICIPAL SUBSIDIES

Some cities, such as Boucherville, Dorval and Terrebonne, still offer subsidies to their citizens. These municipalities offer their own programs of their own accord. This means that you can expect some programs to come to an end (as was the case for Sherbrooke, for example), and others to be added over time. We therefore recommend that you don’t rely too heavily on these grants, but find out beforehand, as your municipality may still have a grant to offer!

SUBSIDIES FOR BUSINESSES

As more and more people go electric, it’s clear that many businesses are joining the movement too. Whether it’s to electrify a fleet of vehicles or to enable your employees and visitors to recharge their electric vehicles, the presence of charging stations in business parking lots continues to grow in popularity. Although this represents an expense for businesses that choose to offer this service, there are plenty of business subsidies available. There are numerous tax credits, eco-responsibility programs and financing available. We invite you to find out more about programs such as Transportez Vert, Branché au travail and Recharge+.
What’s more, several grants are also available for the electrification of heavy vehicles.

HOW TO APPLY?

Good question! When the time comes to place your request, you’ll first need to have all your invoices for the purchase and installation of the terminal on hand. It’s not complicated, and it saves you money – we strongly recommend you take advantage of it!

Steps :

Keep all invoices and proof of installation
Submit the application online via the government portal
Respect the deadlines (usually within 6 months of purchase)

COMBINING PROGRAMS: IS IT POSSIBLE?

That’s another good question, and the answer is…yes! In many cases, it is possible to combine provincial, municipal and federal assistance. However, you have to make sure that they don’t overlap on the same expenses. Once again, we invite you to get informed: the government has a wealth of information at your disposal on its website.

LOTS OF SUBSIDIES

As you can see, there are plenty of subsidies to choose from, all of which can help you save money. The 2025 subsidy programs are an ideal opportunity to acquire a charging station at a lower cost. Whether you’re an individual, a property manager or a contractor, there’s a grant to suit your needs. Take advantage while they’re available!
