TYPE OF CHARGER
TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENT
MAXIMUM FUNDING
Level 2 (208 / 240 V) connectors
3.3 kW to 19.2 kW
Any EV charger commercially available and CSA, ULC, UL or Interlink certified for use in Canada. The charger must have a SAE J1772 standard plug head or be a proprietary** connector type rated for a minimum of 3.3 kW power output.
Up to 50% of total project costs, to a maximum of $5,000 per connector*
Fast charger
20 kW to 49 kW
Any EV fast charger commercially available and CSA, ULC, UL or Interlink certified for use in Canada. The fast charger must be a direct current fast charger (DCFC) and have at least one (1) charger connector that is CHAdeMO compliant and one (1) charger connector that is SAE Combo or be a proprietary** connector type rated for a minimum of 20 kW power output.
Up to 50% of total project costs, to a maximum of $15,000 per fast charger
Fast charger
50 kW to 99 kW
Any EV fast charger commercially available and CSA, ULC, UL or Interlink certified for use in Canada. The fast charger must be a direct current fast charger (DCFC) and have at least one (1) charger connector that is CHAdeMO compliant and one (1) charger connector that is SAE J1772 Combo (CCS) or be a proprietary** connector type rated for a minimum of 50 kW power output.
Up to 50% of total project costs, to a maximum of $50,000 per fast charger
Fast charger
100 kW and above
Any EV fast charger commercially available and CSA, ULC, UL or Interlink certified for use in Canada. The fast charger must be a direct current fast charger (DCFC) and have at least one (1) charger connector that is CHAdeMO compliant and one (1) charger connector that is SAE J1772 Combo (CCS) or be a proprietary** connector type rated for a minimum of 100 kW power output.
Up to 50% of total project costs, to a maximum of $75,000 per fast charger
*For level 2 charging stations: In order to consider the funding per connector, each connector must be able to charge a vehicle and support a parking space simultaneously. Fast charging station funding is based on the number of chargers.
**Proprietary connector types can represent a maximum of 75% of all charging connectors installed at the same project site. The remaining balance (25% or more) must be universal charging connectors (J1772, J1772 Combo and CHAdeMO) of the same category (i.e. Level 2 or fast charger).
