• Complete an EV Charging Road Map or equivalent plan. 
• Obtain all necessary permissions and authorizations from your condo board or governing body. 
• Submit your application at calgary.ca/chargeyyc between August 19 and November 18, 2025. Applications will be assessed as a cohort after the application period closes on November 18, 2025.

For the purposes of this program, a parking stall is considered EV Enabled if it has EITHER: 

• A 208V/240V junction box or outlet with sufficient capacity for a Level 2 charger, or
• A newly installed 120V outlet designated solely for EV charging. 

Two types of rebates are available for ChargeYYC, Phase 2: 

• The EV Enabled Rebate covers 50% of eligible infrastructure costs, up to $6,000 per stall, to a maximum of $90,000 per property. 
• The EV Charger Rebate must be paired with the EV Enabled Rebate and is not available as a standalone rebate. It covers 50% of the Level 2 charger purchase and installation costs, up to $1,000 per single-port or $2,000 per dual-port station, to a maximum of $10,000 per property. 

The combined maximum rebate per property is $100,000. 

Authorized representatives from the condo board, property manager, or multi-residential property owner who are planning to install EV charging infrastructure in accordance with their previously completed EV Charging Road Map or equivalent EV charging study. 

No. The EV Charger Rebate is only available to applicants who are also making their parking stalls EV Enabled through the EV Enabled Rebate. 

Eligible costs include: 

• EV Enabled Rebate: 
  • Engineering design services  
  • Electrical and communication infrastructure installation from and including the junction box or 120V outlet, back (i.e., not for charging stations as that is separate)  
  • Labour and construction costs for the installation of the EV Enabled infrastructure from and including the junction box, back (i.e., not for charging stations as that is separate)  
  • Permitting costs  
  • Fees to upgrade existing electrical services 
• EV Charger Rebate: 
  • Purchase costs of Level 2 charging station  
  • Labour and construction costs for the installation of the charging station and associated conduit by a licensed electrical contractor  
  • Electrical and other related permits  
  • Parking and electrical design to accommodate the charging stations and conduit  
  • Capital expenses, including informatics and other equipment or infrastructure  
  • License fees and permits  
  • EV energy management system (EVEMS) equipment  
  • Labour and construction costs associated with EVEMS installation 

• Applications will be reviewed after the application period closes on November 18, 2025. The City will select a cohort of Program participants. 
• If selected, The City will notify you of your participation in January 2026. You will have nine months to complete your project.

Yes. You may stack this rebate with other programs, but total incentive funding cannot exceed 100% of the total project cost. 

Electric Vehicle Energy Management Systems (EVEMS) are a type of technology that allow multiple EV chargers to share the same circuit by managing the rate and timing of charging, thus removing the need to build dedicated circuits to each charger. Installing an EVEMS may avoid the need to expand electrical capacity in the future, or reduce the size of such an upgrade. Costs related to EVEMS may be eligible under the EV Enabled Rebate. 

Successful Program participants will be notified in January 2026.

For Phase 1, individuals with explicit permission from the property owner(s) can apply on behalf of a multi-residential property. The property owner(s) may be the building owner(s) or represented by a condominium corporation.

Be sure to read the ChargeYYC Phase 1 Application Guide and Terms and Conditions. The guide covers how EV charging works, considerations for installing EV chargers, tips for selecting a qualified professional, and steps for a successful application. It also outlines the requirements for the EV Charging Road Map. The Terms and Conditions detail program participation and eligibility. Additionally, ensure you have your property owner(s) approval before applying.

Once you apply, the ChargeYYC team will respond back to you within four weeks.

Filling out an application does not guarantee that you will be approved for funding. We may contact you to clarify your application before determining funding eligibility.

An EV Charging Road Map is a customized technical plan for an existing multi-residential property to install electric vehicle charging. The professional costs of creating the road map are eligible for a rebate through Phase 1 of ChargeYYC.

The EV Charging Road Map helps create a long-term plan and short-term steps for installing EV chargers on your property. Planning for long-term needs with your neighbours can save money compared to installing one charger at a time. It also helps you identify any challenges like electrical service limitations early. 

The EV Charging Road Map must be completed by a qualified professional, meaning a professional engineer licensed to practice in the province of Alberta.

If approved, you must hire a qualified professional to create an EV Charging Road Map within six months of being approved.

The following can all be part of the recommendations in the EV Charging Road Map:

• Level 1 chargers/120V or 240V outlets
• Level 2 chargers
• Electric vehicle energy management systems (EVEMS)

Please see the appendix of the Phase 1 Application Guide or the link in the Resources sidebar for information on what should be included in an EV Charging Road Map.

This is a new program and funding is currently limited. We want to learn how the project is received and works for initial applicants. These learnings will be applied to future phases or version of the program. The learnings will guide future City policies on EV charging at home and in public.

Certain multi-residential properties are eligible for rebates through ChargeYYC. To be eligible, they must:

• Have 3 or more residential units;
• Be fully constructed at the time of application; and
• Have shared electrical services (please refer to the Application Guide for a definition).

Some multi-residential properties may have multiple detached buildings, each of which may contain several units. These buildings can share an address and/or condominium corporation but have different building and unit numbers. Please note that there is a limit of one (1) rebate per property, not per building.

Most EV owners prefer to charge their cars at home because that’s where they park their cars for the longest amounts of time. It is technically more difficult and costly to install EV chargers in multi-residential buildings. This often makes it cost-prohibitive for multi-residential homeowners to install chargers.

Motor vehicles contribute 33 per cent of Calgary’s annual greenhouse gas emissions. One of the pathways to meeting the goals outlined in the Calgary Climate Strategy is to support Calgarians in shifting to vehicles with low or no greenhouse gas emissions. This includes electric vehicles.
