Incentives for EV chargers in Ontario

Ottawa projects can typically stack three layers of funding: the federal Zero Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program (ZEVIP) covering up to 50% of project costs, Ontario provincial programs for additional rebates and tax credits, and local utility incentives for grid-connected installations. Class 56 accelerated capital cost allowance (100% first-year writeoff) further improves project economics for commercial installations.

How profitability scores work in Ottawa

Every score on EV Data Map blends location demand, competition and operating economics into a single 0–100 number. For Canadian sites, demand draws on Statistics Canada ZEV registrations (Table 20-10-0024) projected forward to 2026 using province-level CAGR, daytime population from StatCan census tracts, and traffic patterns. Competition uses the count and quality of nearby chargers — including DC fast power, network reliability and dwell-fit. Operating economics include provincial electricity tariffs, demand-charge exposure, expected utilization, and capital cost for the recommended hardware mix.

For Ottawa specifically, our model factors local commute corridors, the existing footprint of 33 DC fast and 302 Level 2 sites, and the dwell profile of surrounding land use. The result is a per-address score plus a recommended configuration — number of stalls, target power level and network — that maximises projected revenue.
