How much you get
Not confirmed for single-family homes as of 2026. We have not found a currently-active, clearly-documented rebate for a Level 2 home EV charger at a single-family Halifax house. Support has historically run through Efficiency Nova Scotia at a modest level, but the residential picture has been shifting. What we can confirm: the Electric Vehicle Charging for Multi-Unit Residential Buildings Program, which offered a large rebate (previously up to 75% of costs) toward EV charger installation for apartment and condo buildings, closed to new applications on December 31, 2025. This page will be updated as soon as we can confirm a current single-family program — we'd rather tell you honestly that we don't know than guess a dollar figure.
What to check before you buy a home charger
- Confirm directly with Efficiency Nova Scotia whether a single-family home charger incentive currently exists — call or check efficiencyns.ca before assuming a rebate will offset the purchase.
- Ask Nova Scotia Power whether any time-of-use or off-peak charging rate applies to your account, since running the charger overnight on a lower rate can matter more than a one-time rebate over the life of an EV.
- Federal programs: the federal government has run home charger incentives in past years through Natural Resources Canada; confirm current federal EV charger program status directly at Natural Resources Canada before assuming eligibility, since program windows open and close.
- Live in an apartment or condo? Ask your property manager or condo board whether they've looked into a multi-unit charging program, and check whether a successor to the closed Efficiency Nova Scotia multi-unit program has launched.
Nova Scotia Power's current residential Energy Rate is 19.128¢/kWh (effective May 1, 2026), plus a $20.08/month base charge — useful for estimating your actual home-charging cost per kilometre regardless of whether a rebate applies. (Check current Nova Scotia Power rates →)
