Canada Greener Homes Grant — Up to $600

The federal Canada Greener Homes Initiative includes EV-ready electrical upgrades as eligible improvements. If your EV charger installation requires a panel upgrade (from 100A to 200A) to support the charger load, that panel upgrade may qualify for up to $600 under the program. The charger itself is not a standalone eligible item, but the associated electrical upgrade is. You must use a registered energy advisor and submit documentation before and after installation.

Enbridge Gas — Home Efficiency Rebate Plus

Enbridge's Home Efficiency Rebate Plus program (delivered in partnership with Natural Resources Canada) covers insulation, heat pumps, and EV-ready wiring upgrades. Ontario homeowners with Enbridge gas service may qualify for rebates on the electrical panel work required to support EV charging. The program is income-tested for top-up amounts — lower-income households can receive an additional $600 on top of base rebates. (Serving Richmond Hill, Ontario.)

How to Stack Multiple Programs

Every EV charger installation in Ontario requires an ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) permit and inspection. Only licensed electrical contractors can pull this permit. DIY installation or hiring an unlicensed electrician voids all rebate eligibility, voids your home insurance coverage for related electrical damage, and violates the Ontario Electrical Safety Code. Always confirm your installer is a Licensed Electrical Contractor (LEC) with the ESA before booking. (Serving Richmond Hill, Ontario.)
