Charging at home
More and more companies are installing charging stations for employees, along with parking spaces reserved for EV that are charging.
The Écorecharge program provides financial assistance to businesses. Grant covering up to 50% of eligible expenses.
Win/win : Benefits for Businesses and Employees
For EV owners, charging stations at work are convenient, especially for preheating during winter months.
For people who are considering the purchase of an electric car, it allows them to opt for a less expensive model with a smaller battery since the vehicle will be fully charged for the ride home.
Owners of plug-in hybrids also benefit by further reducing the use of their gasoline engine.
For businesses, charging stations at work is an investment that can really pay off.
It is a great advantage to attract and retain employees.
Furthermore, it also symbolizes an environmental commitment that improves the company's image.
Companies are not required to offer free charging to their employees. However, it remains a best practice to encourage employees to choose an electric vehicle.
Subsidized charging stations at businesses can also be used to charge the company's fleet of electric vehicles.
Grant covering up to 50% of eligible expenses (cannot exceed twice the purchase price of the charging station). A maximum of $500,000 per site and per business.
