From choosing the charger to setting up the app
Not all chargers are equal, and the best one depends on your vehicle, where you park and your panel. We suggest a few connected, grant-eligible models, install the one you choose, then set up the app with you.

If your panel is already full
On a 100 A panel or one that is already heavily loaded, a charger cannot always simply be added. Depending on the case, we install a load management device or replace the panel. We tell you clearly in the quote, before we start.

Frequently asked questions
EV chargers: your questions
How much is the grant for a home charger?
$600, paid by the Québec government under the Écorecharge program. It covers the purchase of the charger, not the installation. The charger must be connected, on the list of eligible models, and cost at least $600 before taxes.
Do I need to already own the electric vehicle?
To apply, yes: you must own or have a long-term lease on the vehicle. But the charger can be installed before the car arrives, and you apply once you have it.
What documents do I need to apply?
The purchase invoice for the charger and the installation invoice from a licensed electrical contractor, both in the vehicle owner's name. We provide an invoice that includes what the program requires.
What about my business?
Écorecharge also has a component for businesses and another for multi-unit buildings, each with its own amounts and conditions. We look at what applies with you.
