Drive past the pump

Rob Gibson - Mar 7, 2018 / 8:13 am | Story: 220487 
The province of B.C. wants to help you drive past the pump and plug in.

If you’ve been thinking about buying an electric car, new charge-up incentives may give you the boost you need.

The province has announced new rebates in its Plug in BC program to help offset the purchase and installation of electric vehicle charging equipment in single-family homes, duplexes and multi-unit residential buildings and – for the first time – in workplaces.

Three new rebates, funded with $1.85 million from the Province of British Columbia as part of its Clean Energy Vehicle Program and administered by Plug in BC, are available now through March 31, 2020.

Rebates are available by application on a first-come, first-serve basis, subject to consideration of a fair geographic distribution of the incentives in B.C.

Plug in BC offers support and information to applicants, including free consultations on the steps to set up a charging station in a multi-unit residential building or workplace.
