EV Charger Rebates for York Region
Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Aurora, and Newmarket homeowners have access to a different set of utility rebates than Toronto. Here is your complete 2026 guide.
York Region Uses Alectra - Not Toronto Hydro
Most of York Region is served by Alectra Utilities, not Toronto Hydro. This matters because rebate programs, ULO rate plans, and application processes differ between the two utilities. If you live in Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Newmarket, or Oakville, your rebate applications go through Alectra - not the Toronto-focused programs you may see advertised.
The good news: Alectra has competitive rebate programs and an easy online application process. We handle all paperwork on your behalf as part of every installation.

The federal iMHZEV (Incentives for Medium and Heavy Zero-Emission Vehicles) program provides rebates on qualifying Level 2 home chargers purchased and installed by a licensed electrician. York Region homeowners qualify on equal footing with Toronto residents.
