Roulez vert in 2026 — every dollar you can claim, every form you need.

Roulez vert is Hydro-Québec's incentive program for electrification of transport. The home-charging rebate has been around since 2017, but every year the eligibility rules and form pack shift slightly. For 2026, here's what's actually true.

What qualifies in 2026

• Level 2 charger only — 240V, minimum 30A output, listed on Hydro-Québec's approved-models list (FLO, Tesla, ChargePoint, Wallbox, Enphase, JuiceBox among others).
• Installed by a licensed electrician — RBQ-licensed contractor, with a numbered invoice.
• Permit pulled — municipal electrical permit, with ESA-equivalent inspection sign-off (in Quebec, that's the master electrician's certification).
• Single residence — one rebate per residential address per program cycle. Commercial properties have a separate, larger program.
• Owner of the property — renters need landlord approval and filing.

How much you actually get

• Single-family home — up to $600 (50% of eligible costs, capped). Eligible costs = hardware + labour + permit + inspection.
• Condo (individual unit) — up to $600 per unit, same calculation.
• Condo (common-area shared) — separate commercial-tier program, up to $5,000 per charging point.
• Multi-family rental — up to $5,000 per residence, owner-filed.

The number is “up to” — you get the lesser of 50% of total or $600. A $1,000 install gets you $500. A $2,000 install caps at $600. The math works in your favour above $1,200.

The full document pack

This is the entire list. Skip one and the claim either gets rejected or sits in queue for 90+ days waiting on your response.

1. Roulez vert application form — current 2026 version, downloadable from the Transition énergétique Québec website. Don't use an older PDF.
2. Itemised invoice from a licensed electrician, showing labour, hardware, permit, and inspection costs separately.
3. Hardware proof of purchase — receipt with model number matching the approved-models list.
4. Municipal electrical permit number — issued before the work started, not after.
5. Master electrician sign-off — Quebec's equivalent of inspection certification.
6. Hydro-Québec account number — the residential account at the install address.
7. Banking info for direct deposit (Hydro-Québec doesn't mail cheques anymore).

Timing

• Filing window — within 12 months of installation. Don't sit on it.
• Initial review — 4 weeks. You'll either get a confirmation email or a request for missing documents.
• Deposit — 2–4 weeks after confirmation. Total: 6–8 weeks from filing.

Why claims get rejected

The three reasons we see in homeowner-filed claims:

• Hardware not on the approved list — typically an off-brand charger ordered from Amazon. Always verify model number against the list before ordering.
• Permit pulled after the work was done — Roulez vert requires the permit number on the invoice, which means it has to exist at quote time. Retroactive permits don't qualify.
• Wrong invoice format — lump-sum invoices get bounced. Hydro-Québec wants labour and hardware itemised, with hardware showing the approved model number.

We file for you · no extra charge

Every install we do includes the Roulez vert filing. We pull the permit before the work starts, structure the invoice the way Hydro-Québec wants it, get the master electrician sign-off as part of close-out, and submit the pack within five business days of completing the job. You sign one form and that's it.

We do this because (a) it's the right way to deliver an EV install, and (b) we'd rather spend 20 minutes filing than fielding a six-week-later email about a rebate that didn't land.
