Eligible charging stations for an installation project in a multiple dwelling

Check that the models of charging stations you plan to install in your multiple dwelling’s parking area are eligible for financial assistance. 

Before choosing your charging station, check that the model you are considering appears on the list. 

List of eligible charging stations (in French only)

Level 2 charging stations

To be eligible, charging stations must support level 2 charging. This means they must be compatible with 208 or 240 volts AC (alternating current) and must be installed to operate with that voltage.

Connected charging stations

From April 1, 2026, only connected charging stations will be eligible for financial assistance. It is the date shown on the purchase or lease invoice that will be used to verify the station’s eligibility.

A connected charging station, also known as a “smart charger,” can receive, send, and process remote commands using a mobile app or a web application.

This type of charging station allows, for example, programming the start time and duration of charging based on a preset charging schedule, taking into account peak electricity demand periods on the electricity distribution network.

Purchase or lease

You may purchase or lease on a long-term basis the charging stations to be installed in the parking area of your multiple dwelling.

In the case of a lease, you must have a valid contract for at least 36 months to be eligible for financial assistance.

New charging station

The charging stations you acquire must be new.

The purchase or lease of a used charging station does not qualify you for financial assistance.

A charging station used for demonstration purposes is not considered new at the time of resale and is therefore not eligible for financial assistance.

Acquisition from a Canadian retailer

You must acquire your charging stations from a Canadian retailer. Charging stations marketed in Canada are approved by an accredited certification body, as required by law.

You may make your purchase online. Make sure the website is Canadian or Québec-based.

Ineligible charging station models

If the charging station you wish to install is not on the list of eligible models, you will not be able to apply for the government incentive for its purchase.

Only charging station distributors and manufacturers may request to have a model added to the list of eligible models.
