Zero-emission vehicles – Project funding
Electric vehicles
Project funding
EV infrastructure, awareness, research and development
Looking for project funding related to EVs, low- and zero-emission transportation?
We offer several funding programs for projects that align with Canada's strong commitment to decarbonizing transportation, either through direct emissions reductions or activities that enable the adoption of cleaner technologies.
Supported projects include:
- installing the charging and refuelling stations needed by zero-emission drivers across Canada
- retrofitting freight vehicles for better fuel efficiency
- increasing awareness and knowledge of the many advantages of using clean fuels and low- and zero-emission vehicles
- research, development, and demonstration of zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles (ZE-MHDVs), charging and fueling infrastructure, transportation system efficiency, and battery innovations.
Which program is right for your project?
Charging and Hydrogen Refuelling Infrastructure Initiative
Financing to accelerate the private sector's rollout of large-scale EV chargers and hydrogen refuelling stations.
Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program
Provides funding towards the deployment of EV chargers where Canadians live, work, travel, and play.
Zero-Emission Trucking Program
Funding to accelerate the safe deployment of zero-emission trucks on Canadian roads by contributing to regulatory modernization, research support, and deployments for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles (MHZEV), and investing in facility upgrades at the Motor Vehicle Test Centre to increase MHZEV testing capabilities.
Education and awareness project funding – clean transportation and clean fuels
Funding for projects that address gaps in awareness, knowledge and public and industry confidence in EVs, lower-emission medium and heavy-duty vehicle options, and/or clean fuels.
ZEVAI Indigenous-led projects pilot
Supports Indigenous-led projects that aim to address awareness and knowledge gaps related to EVs, lower-carbon medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, and clean fuels, such as clean hydrogen and biofuels.
Energy Innovation Program
Funding research, development and demonstration (RD&D) projects, and other related scientific activities that improve energy efficiency and processes to reduce emissions from end-use. RD&D projects will focus on innovations for MHZEVs, EV charging and hydrogen fueling infrastructure, transportation system efficiency, and batteries.
