If you’re thinking about installing EV charging stations at your workplace in Quebec, the big question is simple: how much funding can you actually get? Through the Roulez Vert — Rebate for charging station at work program, Quebec businesses can recover up to 50% of eligible costs, with a maximum of $49,000 per building per fiscal year. This support can help you recover your costs faster.
Below is a clear breakdown of the funding amounts, limits, eligibility, and rules you need to know before you start your project.
The Roulez Vert — Rebate for charging station at work program is run by the Government of Quebec and targets employers who want to install EV charging for employees at their place of work.
Under this program, your business may receive:
This means if your total eligible project cost is:
The cap applies per building, not per charger. Large sites with multiple buildings may qualify for more than one rebate if each building meets program rules.
To qualify for the Roulez Vert workplace charging rebate, you must meet certain criteria.
The workplace charging rebate is open to:
Charging stations must be installed at a place of work and intended primarily for employees.
Only certain equipment qualifies for funding:
Fast chargers (DCFC) are generally not covered under this specific workplace rebate.
Not all project costs are covered. Here’s what usually counts toward the rebate:
Ongoing maintenance, network subscription fees, and electricity costs are usually not eligible.
If you operate in more than one location or need to compare programs, tools like GrantHub’s eligibility matcher can help you filter EV charging incentives by province and applicant type.
It’s important not to confuse the workplace rebate with other Roulez Vert programs.
For example, the Roulez Vert — Multi-unit building charging station rebate is designed for apartment and condo buildings, not workplaces. It also covers up to 50% of eligible costs, with a maximum of $49,000, but eligibility is based on the number of dwelling units, not employees.
If your building serves both residential and commercial purposes, choosing the right stream matters.
Assuming the $49,000 is guaranteed
The program covers up to 50% of costs. If your project is smaller, your rebate will be smaller too.
Installing chargers before confirming eligibility
If the equipment or installation doesn’t meet Roulez Vert rules, the costs may be rejected.
Mixing up workplace and residential programs
Applying under the wrong Roulez Vert stream can delay or derail your application.
Forgetting the per-building limit
Multiple chargers in one building still fall under the same $49,000 cap.
Q: Is the Roulez Vert workplace rebate taxable income?
In many cases, government rebates may be considered taxable income. You should confirm the tax treatment with your accountant based on your business structure.
Q: Can I combine Roulez Vert with other EV charging incentives?
Stacking may be allowed, but total public funding usually cannot exceed program limits. Always check the fine print before combining incentives.
Q: Does each charging station qualify for its own rebate?
No. The funding cap applies per building, not per charger. All eligible chargers in the same building are grouped together.
Q: Are networked or smart chargers eligible?
Yes, as long as they are 240‑volt Level 2 stations that meet Roulez Vert technical requirements.
Q: Can a landlord apply if tenants are the employees using the chargers?
In many cases, yes. Eligibility depends on who owns the equipment and the building, and how the workplace is defined.
Workplace EV charging in Quebec can be subsidized up to $49,000 per building, covering half of your eligible costs under Roulez Vert. Before committing to equipment or contractors, confirm which program stream applies to your site and how much funding you can realistically expect.
