The City of North Vancouver is offering top-up rebates so multi-unit residential buildings can get a jumpstart on being electric vehicle (EV) Ready.
By 2035, every vehicle sold in Canada will be electric under the federal government’s newly proposed regulations. To help prepare for widespread EV adoption, and to encourage residents to make the switch early, the City will top-up current provincial rebates offered through CleanBC’s Go Electric EV Charging Rebate program.
This program supports existing condo and apartment owners in retrofitting buildings to accommodate the high number of EV charging stations that will be required in the future. Eligible buildings could receive up to $158,000 in combined rebates, including:
$4,000 to develop an EV Ready Plan (including a $1,000 City top-up)
$700 per parking stall for EV Ready Infrastructure (including $100 per parking stall City top-up)
$14,000 for EV charging stations
For many people, the decision to purchase an EV depends on their access to convenient and reliable at-home charging. With the majority of City residents living in condos or apartments, supporting access to EV charging in these buildings is a key strategy for the City in enabling EV adoption as outlined in the City’s Electric Vehicle Strategy.
