Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP)
Cost-shared funding for businesses and organizations installing electric vehicle chargers and hydrogen stations.
About this program
The Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program funds the installation of electric vehicle charging and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure across Canada. Natural Resources Canada covers up to 50% of eligible project costs for owners and operators, to a maximum of $2 million, and up to 50% for delivery organizations that redistribute funding, to a maximum of $5 million. Indigenous organizations and communities can receive up to 75% of costs. The program runs until 2027, but all current intake streams are closed: the transportation-corridor fast-charging pilot closed on March 20, 2026. Smaller projects — under 20 Level 2 connectors or 2 fast chargers — may still be able to get funding through an authorized delivery organization, and large private projects over $20 million are directed to the Canada Infrastructure Bank.
