Plug in BC - New Incentives for EV Charging Equipment
If you’ve been thinking about buying an electric car, new charge-up incentives may give you the boost you need. On March 7, 2018 the Fraser Basin Council announced 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. The incentives are funded by the Province of BC. See our media release: Word |PDF. For full details on the incentives and how to apply, visit Plug in BC. Annual Highlights
