BC EV Charger Rebates and
Grants Available in 2026

EV charger installation in Surrey, BC is more affordable than many homeowners and business owners realize, because there are multiple rebate and grant programs available that offset the cost. If you're planning a residential EV charger installation or a commercial EV charging station in 2026, Surrey EV Charge Installation Pros walks you through exactly what's available and handles the paperwork with you. Here's a plain-English breakdown of what's out there.

CleanBC Go Electric: Residential Charging Rebate

The CleanBC Go Electric program is administered by BC Hydro and the Province. It offers rebates for residential EV supply equipment (EVSE), which includes the home Level 2 charger you'd have us install.

The rebate applies to the purchase of a qualifying Level 2 home charger. Requirements include:

• You must own or lease an EV registered in BC
• The charger must be a qualifying product from the approved list
• Installation must be done by a licensed electrical contractor (we qualify)
• The charger must be installed at your primary BC residence

The rebate is applied at point of purchase or claimed afterward, depending on how your installer handles it. We help our Surrey customers submit the claim correctly.

CEVforBC: Multi-Unit and Commercial Charging Incentives

The CEVforBC (Clean Energy Vehicles for BC) program targets multi-unit residential buildings and workplace charging. If you're a strata council, property manager, or employer looking to add EV charging infrastructure, this program can significantly reduce your project cost.

The program covers a portion of equipment and installation costs for eligible properties. Eligibility and funding caps depend on the number of units or stalls and the scope of work.

For commercial EV charging installation projects in Surrey, we assess CEVforBC eligibility as part of our quoting process.

BC Hydro EV Charging Incentives

BC Hydro runs periodic incentive programs separate from the provincial CleanBC program. These can include rebates on smart charging equipment, load management hardware, or time-of-use rate incentives. Their EV rate structures also mean that charging at home overnight in BC is among the cheapest in North America.

Federal iZEV Program (Vehicle Purchase Rebate)

The federal iZEV program is primarily a vehicle purchase rebate, not a charger installation rebate. But it's worth mentioning because many Surrey residents buying a new EV combine the vehicle purchase rebate with a simultaneous charger installation, making the full transition more affordable. The federal program has had funding pauses in 2025 and 2026, so check current status when you're buying.

SCRAP-IT BC

SCRAP-IT offers incentives for scrapping an older vehicle and replacing it with a zero-emission vehicle or e-bike. The EV-related incentives have included credits that can be applied toward charging equipment in some program iterations. Check the current SCRAP-IT program terms at the time of your purchase.

How We Help with Rebate Applications

The rebate paperwork is the part most DIYers get wrong. Required documentation usually includes proof of EV ownership, charger model information, contractor licensing details, and sometimes the electrical permit. We keep the documentation organized throughout the installation process and help you submit a complete application the first time.

When you book with Surrey EV Charge Installation Pros, rebate assistance is part of the service. We'll confirm what's currently available, what you qualify for, and what we need to document.

Bottom Line for Surrey Homeowners

Between provincial and utility rebates, many Surrey homeowners can meaningfully reduce the out-of-pocket cost of a Level 2 home charger and installation. The exact amounts change, which is why we verify current program terms at the time of each install rather than quoting fixed numbers here.

Give us a call and we'll tell you exactly what's available right now.
