Subsidies & aids
5 November 2025

In November 2025, Quebec is celebrating a major milestone: more than 200,000 electric vehicles will be on its roads, compared to 160,000 in 2023, with an ambitious projection of 1.5 million by 2030 according to the Plan for a Green Economy. This wave of adoption, boosted by public incentives, hides an often overlooked opportunity: 72% of EV owners are still unaware of the subsidies available, according to a CAA-Quebec 2025 survey. Result? Thousands of dollars lost with each installation.

At Bornes Électron, our mission is clear: to make charging accessible and cost-effective. This exhaustive guide of more than 2,500 words deciphers all the 2025 aid with surgical precision: updated amounts, strict conditions, simplified procedures, and quantified depreciation. Whether you are an individual, a condominium association, or a company, you will know exactly how much to recover and how. Ready to turn an expense into a lightning-fast investment?
