Print this Article | Send to Colleague
The Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) is offering 50% funding to EV charging projects in 2021. The application round begins February 2021 and closes May 2021. This round of funding targets the installation of infrastructure in public places, workplaces, and multi-unit residential buildings. Based on last year’s intake, maximum funding per application is assumed to be at least $5,000,000, with maximum funding amounts on a per charger basis for both Level 2 and DC fast chargers.
Applicants in BC have the opportunity to stack funding from both ZEVIP, and the ongoing provincial rebate program to claim up to 75% of total project costs. The CleanBC Go Electric programs have intakes for public DC fast charging installations, as well as Level 2 stations in existing workplace and multi-unit residential buildings. It is encouraged that projects, which surpass the CleanBC Go Electric maximum funding amounts, apply for the upcoming ZEVIP 2021 round.
There are several companies that can provide full application support on behalf of the applicant. If you are interested in understanding how these grants can benefit your building, contact info@swtchenergy.com to learn more.
