The shift toward more sustainable mobility is underway, and the City of Montréal is committed to supporting businesses in this transition. To encourage the electrification of transportation, an exceptional subsidy program is now available—offering up to up to 100,000 $ per project for the installation of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. Whether you operate a retail store, restaurant, office, or car dealership, this is a unique opportunity to modernize your infrastructure and attract a growing clientele of EV drivers.

With funding that covers up to 50% of purchase and installation costs, this subsidy makes access to charging technology more affordable, while ensuring a strategic return on investment. Learn how to take advantage of this financial assistance and why equipping your business with EV charging stations is a smart and sustainable decision.

Why Invest in Charging Stations Now?

The electrification of transportation is rapidly expanding. By 2035, the Government of Canada plans to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles, meaning the demand for charging infrastructure will rise significantly in the years to come. Investing in EV charging stations now gives you a competitive edge and prepares you to meet the evolving needs of electric drivers.
