Roulez vert Program

Overview of the Roulez vert Program program:

The Roulez vert program, funded by the Government of Quebec, supports the transition to electric transportation by offering financial incentives for the purchase or lease of new or used electric vehicles and for installing charging stations at residences, multi-unit buildings, and workplaces. The program contributes to Quebec's Green Economy Plan 2030, with the specific target of having 1.6 million EVs on the roads by 2030. It offers tailored funding options through several program streams, addressing cost barriers to EV adoption and the need for accessible charging infrastructure. The program runs until March 31, 2026, or until funds are exhausted.
