Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Demonstration (EVID) Program

In 2017, Canada’s transportation sector accounted for 24% of national GHG emissions.  The increased adoption of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) is key to decarbonizing our transportation sector and transitioning to a low-carbon future. The Government of Canada established the EVID Program as part of Budget 2016’s investment in green infrastructure.  Budget 2017 allocated up to $30M to the EVID Program from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2022 to continue to support demonstrations of next-generation and innovative electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure that address technical and non-technical barriers to the installation, operation and management of EV charging technologies. 

This request for proposals (RFP) will allocate up to $15M towards non-repayable contributions for both EV charging and hydrogen (H2) refuelling infrastructure demonstration projects.
