How do I claim financial assistance?

For the Roulez vert Program and the federal iZEV Program, we take care of sending the request on your behalf. You can apply for the Roulez vert Program yourself using the online service. All you need is the purchase or lease contract, the vehicle description and the SAAQ "Service Received" document. You can also apply by mail.

You can also apply online for financial assistance for a charging station. In addition to the purchase or lease contracts and SAAQ documents, you'll need to have details of the charging station itself and the supplier, as well as proof of installation by a qualified electrician if an outlet is to be installed. If the socket already exists, photos of the installation are permitted.
