Financial Assistance for Workplace Charging Stations in Quebec

Quebec offers financial assistance to businesses, municipalities, and organizations looking to install charging stations in the workplace. Eligible applicants can receive up to 50% of eligible expenses, with a maximum of $5,000 per connector or wireless charging station.

The program aims to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles by providing support for the installation of charging infrastructure in workplaces. It covers a wide range of eligible expenses related to planning and implementing the charging stations, making it easier for organizations to transition to electric mobility.

The workplace charging stations are intended for the use of the organization's electric vehicles, employees, and in some cases, visitors. This initiative promotes sustainability, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and supports the growth of the electric vehicle industry in Quebec.

Applicants need to ensure that the charging stations they purchase meet the program's eligibility criteria to qualify for financial assistance.
