Car Loan Glossary province

In QC, what should I know about EV charging credits (provincial) for car loans?

In Quebec, the provincial government, often through programs administered by Transition Énergétique Québec (TEQ) or Hydro-Québec, has historically offered significant rebates for the purchase and installation of residential Level 2 (240V) EV charging stations. While these provincial credits do not directly reduce your car loan principal at the point of sale, they are crucial for consumers to understand as they significantly lower the overall out-of-pocket cost of EV adoption, directly impacting your total cost of ownership. For 2025, these programs are designed to incentivize the necessary home charging infrastructure, making EV ownership more accessible and financially attractive by offsetting a portion of the setup costs. This matters because factoring in these potential savings can free up capital, reduce your overall investment in an EV, and make the transition to electric more affordable. Always verify the most current eligibility criteria, maximum rebate amounts, and application procedures on the official websites of Transition Énergétique Québec or Hydro-Québec, as program details and funding are subject to change annually.
