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.

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.

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. 

Be sure to read the ChargeYYC 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.

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.

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.
