Natural gas vehicle incentives

Vehicles certified for fuel storage pressure of 3,600 pounds per square inch (PSI) can be fuelled with FortisBC’s compressed natural gas (CNG). Take advantage of the cost savings and environmental benefits of choosing natural gas over gasoline or diesel fuel.

About the program

Purchase a new, factory-built CNG vehicle or convert an existing vehicle to CNG and you could be eligible for a financial incentive. Terms and conditions apply—please review them on the application.

There are four FortisBC CNG fuelling stations where you can fuel a natural gas vehicle:

• Kelowna: 2935 Acland Road
• Surrey: 16705 Fraser Highway
• Annacis Island: 675 Belgrave Way
• Abbotsford: 34374 Vye Road

Incentive calculation

The incentive may be up to $10 per gigajoule (or $0.347 per gasoline litre) based on estimated consumption over a one-year period, up to a maximum total depending on the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR):

Light duty (GVWR <10,000 lb.)

• Maximum incentive available: $2,500

Medium duty (GVWR <17,000 lb.)

• Maximum incentive available: $5,000

Heavy duty (GVWR >17,000 lb.)

• Maximum incentive available: $10,000

Eligibility requirements

Applicants must be:

• purchasing a factory-built natural gas vehicle (NGV) or converting a vehicle (five years old or newer) to natural gas that meets federal emissions and air quality requirements. Aftermarket conversion equipment must be installed by qualified shops.
• using the vehicle in FortisBC's natural gas service area.

If you’ve already received an incentive for the vehicle under the natural gas vehicle incentive program or any other FortisBC program, it won’t be eligible for further incentives.

Note: if your vehicle is not designed and certified for fuel storage pressure of 3,600 PSI, you will not be able to fuel at our facilities
