B.C. gives $4 million in rebates for electric vehicle charge stations
VANCOUVER – The B.C. government is offering rebates for electric vehicle drivers who want to install charging stations at home or work.
Homeowners can get a $350 rebate to install a Level 2 charging station in a single-family home.
A $2,000 rebate is available for the installation of a Level 2 charging station designed for multiple users in apartments or workplaces.
The government says in a statement that BC Hydro customers can apply for an additional $350 in a matching rebate to buy and install the equipment in single-family homes.
More than $4 million has been set aside for the new CleanBC rebate program.
Michelle Mungall, minister of energy, mines and petroleum resources, says the rebates will make it easier to switch to electric vehicles.
To qualify for the rebates, the stations must be installed and final documents submitted by March 31.
