If you have an electric car, it means you will have to charge it. Instead of filling up at the gas station, you will need to plug in your car. You can do this at home and at work—the two places where vehicles are parked the longest during the day. Therefore, they are the perfect places to charge electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids.
It is possible to charge your car at home with a regular 120V outlet or a 240V charging station, the last choice being the faster option. If you have leased or purchased a new electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid, you can receive a $600 rebate after purchasing a 240V home charging station.
Multi-unit residential buildings can also provide tenants with shared charging stations in common parking areas. If you own or live in a multi-unit residential building, check out the financial assistance available for the installation of a multi-unit building charging station. The rebate can be as much as $5,000 per connector.
If your building is accessible to people with reduced mobility, it would be logical to make the charging stations you install there accessible to them as well. Refer to Section 4.8 of Hydro-Québec’s Technical Installation Guide for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations 
to learn more about what to take into consideration.
It is also possible to charge your car at work if you reach an agreement with your employer. The Roulez vert program allows businesses to receive a rebate for the purchase and installation of 240V charging stations to recharge company and employee vehicles.
Since April 18, 2019, employers are no longer required to provide free charging to their employees. Free charging is nonetheless a good incentive to encourage employees to switch to electric vehicles.
To ensure that as many people as possible have access to the charging station you plan to install in your company’s parking lot, it is a good idea is to make it accessible to people with reduced mobility. Refer to Section 4.8 of Hydro-Québec’s Technical Installation Guide for Electric Vehicle Charging Stations to learn more about what to take into consideration.
Road vehicle fleet
If you operate a light or heavy-duty road vehicle fleet and would like to acquire direct current fast charging (DCFC) stations, consult our Transportez vert program (in French only) instead.
Vehicles can also be charged in certain public areas. There are currently more than 7,000 free and fee-based public charging stations in Québec owned by different networks. They can be found in front of hotels, restaurants and stores and at municipal parking lots, car dealers, service areas, etc. The Québec public charging network continues to grow week by week!
Since fall 2014, the installation of a few quick charging stations in Québec has significantly improved the existing charging offer. It is now easier to plan longer trips, which may help accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles by the public.
Many Internet sites and mobile applications can help electric vehicle drivers check the location of the charging stations along their route as well as their real-time availability.
