Oh, most funniest thing of that rebate is: YOU DON'T NEED TO HAVE AN EV TO QUALIFY FOR THE REBATE!
No. They list specific charger model that qualify and it needs to be purchased in BC.
The fine print on the list says..."This list is not exhaustive and is only meant to offer some assistance in researching different brands and suppliers".
For those owners of a Tesla is the convenience of having a charger Tesla and ease of use with no adaptors required worth paying $700 more for instead of having one of the non Tesla chargers installed at our house that is eligible for the rebate?
I have had my 240 volt Tesla wall charger sitting uninstalled in a box for a week now hoping that somehow the cost of equipment and installation would be included in the new $700 rebate program in BC. It looks like the Tesla charger is not on the approved list of chargers and will not be eligible for the $700 rebate.

The non Tesla chargers are lacking some functions like the ability to daisy chain and share the same input source (AFAIK).
I’ve been looking at some, and to be honest I don’t really like anything other than the Tesla wall connector, however if I had to choose one the chargepoint is probably one I would consider. As far as eligible sellers go I’m not entirely sure.For those in the Vancouver area where or from who do you buy your EV charger to satisfy the purchased in BC requirement? For those with a Tesla, which of the non Tesla alternatives eligible for the $700 rebate would you consider?....Thanks for your input!
For me it was, but that’s mostly because of weather aggravation. My UMC started bleeding water and freezing in the winter, so I upgraded.I have had my 240 volt Tesla wall charger sitting uninstalled in a box for a week now hoping that somehow the cost of equipment and installation would be included in the new $700 rebate program in BC.

That's a good point. I'm using mine in a dry carport, but if it was exposed to the elements, that would be a no-brainer reason for me to upgrade to a wall-mounted box.For me it was, but that’s mostly because of weather aggravation.

I just can't imagine Horgan wanting to see his smiling face in the paper saying, "we are using your hard-earned tax dollars to help make it a little more affordable for Tesla owners to install hardware that only Tesla owners can use".
They may say they are reviewing the eligibility of the Tesla charger, but I know where I'd put my money when it comes to betting whether that review will lead to a change in the existing requirements.
For what it's worth, the West 4th location had a 14-30 adapter in stock, but no clue what else as they went in the back while I stood at the door.
Ford did that in ON and they got sued and U-Turned to include Tesla. If there's a valid case for Tesla to get their EVSE's onto the list, it would have been. The "sold in BC" clause maybe the limiting factor here.
