This rebate is only available in Quebec.

Roulez Vert has clear equipment rules. Chargers must:
You can use smart chargers, but they are not required. Level 1 chargers (120‑volt) do not qualify for this program.
Applying for this rebate is a step-by-step process. Here’s what you need to do:
Install the chargers
Complete the installation using qualified professionals.
Pay for the project
Make sure you have all invoices and proof of payment.
Gather documents
Collect technical documents, receipts, and any required approvals (for example, from your condo board).
Apply online
Submit your application after installation is finished. You must include all supporting documents.
The program is currently open, but budgets are limited each year. Apply soon after your project is complete to avoid missing out.
Applying before installation is done
This is a reimbursement program. You can only apply after the work is finished and paid for.
Using chargers that do not qualify
Level 1 chargers or non-certified equipment will be rejected.
Not getting condo board approval
For condos, you need official approval from the syndicate before applying.
Assuming all parking spots are eligible
Chargers must serve residents, not just visitors. Visitor-only parking is usually not covered.
Q: Can a condo syndicate apply directly for the Roulez Vert rebate?
Yes. Condo and co‑ownership syndicates are allowed to apply for this rebate.
Q: Is the rebate taxable income?
Sometimes rebates are taxable. This depends on the applicant and ownership structure. Ask your accountant for advice.
Q: Can tenants apply if the landlord agrees?
In some cases, yes. Tenants or resident owners can apply if they have written permission from the building owner or syndicate.
Q: Can this rebate be combined with other EV charging incentives?
It may be possible, but total public funding cannot go over program limits. Always check the stacking rules before you apply.
Q: Is this the same as the Roulez Vert workplace charging rebate?
No. Multi‑unit residential buildings use a different Roulez Vert stream than workplaces, even though both can offer up to $49,000.
Adding EV charging stations to your apartment or condo building brings several benefits:
Having charging available at home makes daily life easier for residents. It also shows that your building is up-to-date with current technology and environmental standards.
If your apartment or condo building meets the requirements, the Roulez Vert EV charger rebate can help lower your installation costs. Make sure your building, charger, and applicant match the program rules before you start.
