Several subsidies also cover 75% of the costs of installing charging stations and the studies required to install them. In fact, the Canada Infrastructure Bank, in partnership with the Bus Carriers\u2019 Federation (BCF), offers financing at a very low interest rate, to be paid back only if cost savings are realized through the introduction of electric buses.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>Propulsion Qu\u00e9bec developed the Transporteur+ guide to help you equip your electrification project.

For 2023-2024, the basic grant amount is $150,000 per electric school bus, and $175,000 for school buses with a battery capacity of 155 kW or higher. Also, to help accelerate the planning and implementation of charging stations, carriers can submit applications for financial assistance for charging infrastructure before ordering electric buses. Two bus manufacturers are eligible for this grant, Girardin Blue Bird and Lion Electric. The grant is paid directly to the supplier, so the school bus operator does not need to advance the total amount and only needs to pay the difference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>For charging stations, the grant is 75% of acquisition and installation costs up to a maximum of $50,000 per electric school bus. To obtain this grant, the operator must submit a report prepared by an expert in consultation with a qualified electrician and a licensed professional engineer.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>Another way to finance studies, plans and specifications for integrating new technologies is the Fonds \u00c9coleader fund. The Fonds \u00c9coleader supports tangible measures such as preparing diagnostics and studies, developing action plans and carrying out support procedures. The Fonds \u00c9coleader provides grants to cover 75% of the cost of studies and action plans up to $60,000.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p>\u00a0<br><strong>To find out more, see the Transporteur+ <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/propulsionquebec.com\/en\/nos-ressources\/transporteur-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>website<\/strong><\/a><strong> and the Transporteur+ <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/propulsionquebec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/TransporteurPlus-GuideComplet-EN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>guide<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component component-paragraph\" ><div class=\"container\">\n<p><em>This project was made possible thanks to the financial support of the Government of Quebec, the Trottier Family Foundation, the Greater Montreal Climate Fund and the Fonds de solidarit\u00e9 FTQ.
