Last Update: July 18, 2026
Latest change: The eligible charger catalog was materially refreshed, and the application instructions now note that residential chargers will need an approved EV Ready Plan or Electric Planning Report as of July 15, 2026.
Eligible charger list updated
The eligible charger catalog was materially updated on the Electric vehicle chargers eligible for rebates page, with multiple charger models and manufacturers replaced by new listings and updated product details. One updated listing also now references a BC Hydro $250 smart EV charger top-up for select chargers. The application instructions were also revised: as of July 15, 2026, residential chargers will require either a copy of the approved EV Ready Plan or Electric Planning Report for the building, and the submission checklist now includes that document as part of the pre-approval package. These changes affect which chargers qualify and what applicants must include for residential installations.
