Nova Scotia’s EV Charging for Multi-Unit Residential Buildings program won’t be taking applications after June 30, 2025, meaning you’ve got a few weeks left to apply for up to $29,000 in financial support if you’re a building owner investing in EV charging infrastructure.

This year, shoppers in Quebec can apply for a rebate of $4,000 on a fully electric vehicle, $500 to $1,000 for a plug-in hybrid depending on battery size, and up to $2,000 on a qualifying used EV.

There’s also a $1,500 rebate to cover the cost of shipping a used EV to the Yukon, and up to $1,500 or 50% of the cost of purchasing and installing a home charger. Check here for the full scoop.
