EV Charger Rebate Updates
BC Hydro updated the home-charger application window, added a Peak Saver step for eligible applicants, and expanded the list of eligible charger and load-management models.
BC Hydro increased the home-charger rebate application period from 90 days to 180 days after installation on the single-family homes application page. The same application instructions now also direct eligible home-charger applicants to enroll in Peak Saver, with a $250 bonus plus $50 seasonal rewards shown in the added step. The eligible-device and charger lists were also updated with new models and product variants, including Futuri Power and Schneider Charge devices, while some previously listed chargers were removed or had rebate-detail presentation changes. These updates affect which products and project types are shown as eligible for the EV charger rebate program.
