Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program: For owners/operators of ZEV infrastructure
$5,000,000.00
Grant
Description:
The Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) provides funding towards the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) chargers and hydrogen refuelling stations across Canada.
This initiative addresses a key barrier to the adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEV)—the lack of charging and refuelling stations in Canada—by increasing the availability of localized charging and hydrogen refuelling opportunities where Canadians live, work, travel, and play. This is administered through three key funding streams and is available until 2027.
Comments on Funding:
Financial support for projects is based on the total amount of funds available for ZEVIP and within the ZEVIP timeframe. Funding is subject to an appropriation by Parliament for the fiscal year in which payments are to be made.
ZEVIP will pay up to 50% of Total Project Costs (75% for Indigenous businesses and communities), up to maximum amounts as shown in the following table:
