MURB residents face significant barriers to accessing EV charging in their homes and, as a result, becoming EV owners. This is due to the added administrative layers associated with buildings containing multiple residences, more complex technical requirements and associated higher costs. The Program is designed to help address this financial and administrative burden through both equipment/installation incentives and the EV Charging expert support program offering. In this program stream, applicants submit an initial application to reserve an incentive, and then only receive the reimbursement incentive once all work is completed and paid for and final application requirements are met.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE?
This Program component is open to B.C. residents, building owners, managers, or other building representatives (such as strata councils) who reside in or have oversight of an eligible MURB. The MURB must be located in B.C. and be constructed no later than August 31, 2019; this incentive is intended for retrofit solutions only, new MURB builds are ineligible. For all other residential building types please see the single-family home rebate.

After charging at home, the workplace is the most important secondary charge point for EV drivers. However, workplaces can face barriers to deploying EV charging due to the technical requirements and associated costs. The Workplace Incentive is intended to help address the financial burden for workplaces to support increased EV adoption. In this program stream, applicants submit an initial application to reserve an incentive, and then only receive the reimbursement incentive once all work is completed and paid for, and final application requirements are met.
Providing workplace EV charging creates access to EV charging for employees who do not have home charging, demonstrates the employer’s leadership and commitment to employees and customers, supports employer goals for improving employee commuting practices and reducing carbon emissions.
