Energy Conservation Programs

As of May 2019, the federal government offers an EV Program called The Zero-Emission Vehicle Program (iZEV) that offers up to $5,000 discounts on an EV purchase.Plug’n Drive offers a $1,000 incentive for the purchase of a used EV purchased after April of 2019 and an additional $1,000 if you scrap your old gas car.

If you live in a condominium and have an EV or are interested in buying one, speak to your Condo Owner or Board Member to have EV Chargers installed at your condo.

According to the Condominium Act of 2018, condominium boards must allow their residents to utilize the building’s electrical information to determine if EVs are compatible with the electrical system. After an assessment, an application must be filed to the Condo Board, including detailed plans for a safe installation and drawings. The plan must be conscientious of common space and consider the cost to other owners. The condo board then has 60 days to accept the application or reject it. If declined, the qualified personnel must provide adequate documentation and reasoning to prove the installation of EV chargers would pose a serious health and safety risk. Once the corporation has accepted the owner’s application, the owner and the corporation have 90 days to enter into a written agreement. Unless agreed otherwise, the owner is responsible for all costs to carry out the installation.
