The $250 Peak Saver bonus and eligible community top-up incentives require enrollment in BC Hydro's Peak Saver program. Peak Saver helps reduce electricity demand during periods of exceptionally high use by occasionally pausing eligible EV chargers for short periods.

Customers enrolled in Peak Saver currently receive a $250 enrollment incentive and can earn an additional $50 per season for remaining enrolled in the program.

Eligibility depends on program terms, postal code, charger model, available funding and current program requirements. Confirm eligibility before purchase.

“Couldn’t be happier”

Roost Solar installed our system last June and we couldn’t be happier with their service. Everything was done very professionally, on time, and within the quote provided, even when challenges came up. They were quick to work through them and the end result was perfect. We would highly recommend them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What incentives are available for EV charger installations?

Eligible homeowners may qualify for up to $2,350 in combined incentives, including the CleanBC EV charger rebate, BC Hydro Peak Saver incentive, and eligible community top-up funding. Incentive availability, funding levels and program requirements can change over time, so eligibility should always be confirmed before purchase.

What is BC Hydro Peak Saver?

BC Hydro Peak Saver is a voluntary program that helps reduce electricity demand during periods of exceptionally high use.When enrolled, eligible smart EV chargers may occasionally pause charging for short periods during Peak Saver events. In exchange, participants currently receive a $250 enrollment incentive and may earn an additional $50 per season for remaining enrolled in the program.Most homeowners find these brief charging pauses have little impact on their day-to-day charging needs.

How fast will my EV charge at home?

Most Level 2 chargers can add approximately 30 to 60 kilometres of driving range per hour of charging, depending on your vehicle and charger settings. For most drivers, charging overnight easily provides enough energy for everyday driving.

Will my electrical set-up support an EV charger?

Many homes can install an EV charger without upgrading their electrical service or their electrical panel. Before installation, Roost performs a load calculation to determine whether sufficient electrical capacity is available and to identify the most cost-effective installation approach.

Where do you install?

We proudly serve the Thompson-Okanagan — Vernon, Coldstream, Armstrong, Lavington, Lake Country, Lumby, Cherryville, Falkland, Enderby, Salmon Arm, Sicamous, Kelowna, Kamloops, and surrounding communities. Outside that area? Give us a call — we are always open to hearing about your project.

Can I qualify if I am not a BC Hydro customer?

The incentives shown on this page are intended for eligible customers participating in BC Hydro incentive programs. Fortis Electric customers are eligible for the $350 CleanBC rebate as well as the ongoing carbon-credit programs. Roost can review your utility provider and location to determine which incentives may be available for your home.

Do I need to commit to an installation before checking eligibility?

No. Roost can review your electrical system, confirm available incentives, assess charger compatibility and help ensure your installation qualifies for applicable programs before you spend any money.
