Important:
New for 2026: Grant applications can now be submitted throughout the entire year. To avoid losing any data you've entered, we recommend that you save as you fill out the form.
As long as you have not submitted the application, you can retrieve it to make changes or add missing elements. Simply log back into your account to access the form.
Click the Submit my application button at the end of the form once all required fields have been filled out and supporting documentation has been attached.
If any required information or supporting documentation is missing, your application will be automatically rejected.
A municipality or an Indigenous community can submit only one grant application per year. An application may include one or more sites.
Projects to install charging stations in parking lots are eligible for the grant. These projects must include a minimum of two single-connector charging stations or one double-connector charging station per site. The charging stations must be easy to find when entering the parking lot, which must be accessible year-round and cleared of snow in winter.
Projects to install curbside charging stations are also eligible for the grant program. The charging stations must be accessible year-round and snow must be cleared from the street and sidewalk during the winter.
Before filling out the grant application, ensure that the charging stations will be able to be installed curbside or in the parking lot at the selected locations. For guidance, refer to the charging station installation guides on the 4,500-Charging Station Grant Program web page.
You will also need to have the following documentation on hand in electronic format (Formats accepted: PDF, JPEG, Word, Excel):
• Map of the streets or the parking lots where the charging stations will be located
• Photos of each projected charging station site, taken from different angles (new requirement)
• Planned distance in centimetres between the projected charging station and the parking space (new requirement)
• Estimated installation costs (civil engineering work, electrical work, etc.)
• Signed approval letter from the relevant body or a copy of the city council resolution (optional, but highly recommended)
The grant application and all required supporting documents must be submitted using the online form. A copy of your application will be emailed to you (please keep this copy as proof that your application was sent). Please keep it as proof of submission.
Applications will be reviewed within one month of reception. Municipalities and communities will receive a written response within one week of the completed application review. Only the municipalities and communities whose projects have been selected will be eligible for the grant upon submitting copies of the supporting documentation once the charging stations are operational.
Municipalities and communities whose projects were not selected will receive a rejection letter. They will be able to submit a new grant application within the same year for projects to install charging stations that meet the program criteria.
