Electric Vehicle Affordability Program (EVAP)
Canada's new federal EV purchase incentive replaced the old iZEV program in February 2026. Get up to $5,000 off a new battery-electric vehicle (BEV) or up to $2,500 off a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) - applied at the dealership, no paperwork required.
- New BEV or PHEV purchase or lease on/after Feb 16, 2026
- Final transaction value at or under $50,000 (no cap for Canadian-made EVs)
- Vehicle must be built in Canada or a free-trade-agreement country
- One incentive per vehicle - applied directly at point of sale
The $5,000 BEV rebate is at its maximum in 2026 and will step down to $4,000 in 2027. Act now for the highest incentive.
Ultra-Low Overnight (ULO) Rate Plan
Ontario's ULO rate plan offers dramatically cheaper electricity between 11pm and 7am - exactly when most EV owners charge. EV owners who shift charging to overnight can save hundreds per year compared to standard Time-of-Use pricing.
- Available to all residential customers of Toronto Hydro, Hydro One, and most Ontario utilities
- Switch online or by phone - no fee, no lock-in period
- Overnight rate as low as $0.028/kWh vs $0.179/kWh peak
- Works best with a smart Level 2 charger that can schedule charging times
Pair your new Level 2 charger with the ULO plan. A smart charger (Emporia, ChargePoint, Wallbox) lets you set an automatic overnight schedule from your phone.
Toronto Hydro PeakSaver Plus
Toronto Hydro's demand-response program offers a rebate toward a smart Level 2 EV charger installation when you enrol your charger in their PeakSaver demand-management network. The charger may briefly pause or reduce charging during peak grid events (typically a few hours per year).
- Toronto Hydro residential customers only
- Must install a qualifying smart Level 2 charger (Enel X, ChargePoint, or approved models)
- Charger must be enrolled in the PeakSaver demand-response program
- One rebate per residential address
Availability and amounts vary - confirm current status directly with Toronto Hydro before booking your installation. We can check eligibility as part of your free quote.
Alectra Utilities Smart Charger Rebate
Alectra Utilities (serving Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, and parts of the GTA) offers a rebate for homeowners who install a qualifying smart EV charger enrolled in their demand-response program.
- Alectra Utilities residential customers (Mississauga, Brampton, Hamilton, Guelph, Vaughan, Barrie, Markham, Richmond Hill)
- Must install an Alectra-approved smart Level 2 charger
- Charger must be enrolled in demand-response program
Check your utility bill to confirm if you are an Alectra customer. Mississauga and parts of Vaughan and Markham are served by Alectra.
Recently Closed Programs
Canada Greener Homes Grant
The federal Greener Homes Grant closed to new applications in February 2024 and fully wound down December 31, 2025. It covered EV charger installation, insulation, windows, heat pumps, and more. While no longer accepting applicants, it's worth knowing for context.
If you applied before the deadline and are still awaiting payment, contact Natural Resources Canada directly.
ZEVIP Home Charger Rebate (Paused)
The Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) previously offered up to $1,000 toward home Level 2 charger installation in Ontario. The residential stream was paused in January 2025. The commercial/public stream (ChargeON) remains open for businesses and municipalities.
