Quebec Electric Car Subsidy: Up to $7,000

As the Government of Quebec launched its ambitious 2030 Plan for a Green Economy aimed at increasing the number of electric vehicles on our roads to 1.5 million by 2030, both levels of government were concurrently offering governmental rebates for hybrid and electric cars.

Until recently, the Quebec government was renewing the Roulez Vert program, which provided a governmental rebate for electric and hybrid cars. For clarity, let's review the current terms of the active program.

Rebate Amounts

The financial aid from the 2024 Roulez Vert program indicates the rebates offered for electric and hybrid vehicles, as shown in the following table:

Type of Vehicle Governmental Rebate 2024
Fully Electric Vehicle $7,000
Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (15 kWh and above) $5,000
Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (8 to 15 kWh) $2,500
Used Fully Electric Vehicle $3,500

Accordingly, the government rebate for an electric car such as the Volkswagen ID.4 with its extended range is still valid in 2024.

The subsidy for the purchase and installation of an electric charging station is still in effect in Quebec.

For a home Level 2 station, you can benefit from financial support of $600. To qualify, you must be the owner or long-term lessee of the electric vehicle.

For the subsidy for charging stations in condominiums or multi-unit dwellings (5 units and more), you can benefit from financial support of 50% of eligible expenses regarding the work to be done, up to a maximum of $5,000. To qualify, you must be the owner or long-term lessee of an electric vehicle and you must reside in the building in question.

Finally, only vehicles registered in Quebec are eligible for reimbursement for the purchase and installation of the electric charging station under this subsidy program.

End Date for Government Subsidy: December 31, 2026
