Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program

The Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) provides funding towards the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) chargers and hydrogen refuelling stations across Canada.

This $680 million initiative addresses a key barrier to the adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEV)—the lack of charging and refuelling stations in Canada—by increasing the availability of localized charging and hydrogen refuelling opportunities where Canadians live, work, and play. This is administered through three key funding streams and is available until 2027.

Funding for smaller EV charging projects with under 20 level 2 connectors or 2 fast-chargers can be found through organizations authorized to redistribute a component of the ZEVIP funding.

Larger EV charging or hydrogen refuelling projects above $20 million and carried out by the private sector will be redirected to the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s Charging and Hydrogen Refuelling Infrastructure Initiative for funding consideration.
