Installing a home EV charger in British Columbia

The first tip comes from the program’s own steps. Each program’s rules come first.

How BC Hydro Home EV Charger Rebate works in B.C.
Pick a charger from BC Hydro's rebate-eligible list. Have it installed with an electrical permit.
Check your panel first
A Level 2 charger needs a 240-volt circuit. An electrician can tell you if your panel has room or if load management will avoid an upgrade.
Keep the permit and invoice
Rebates usually need proof of professional installation and an electrical permit.
Check the eligible list
Many programs only pay for certified, networked or listed charger models.
