EV CHARGER REBATES

With level 2, an EV can replenish more miles in a fraction of the time letting charge how you want, when you want, as fast as you want. With electric vehicles expected to account for up to 30% of cars on the road in just a few years, drivers are looking for fast, flexible ways to charge at home and on the go, and at home.

  • Charge while you sleep. Now that your vehicle can fully charge in a shorter amount of time, it's convenient to schedule your EV to charge during the overnight hours. Which can help reduce your electric bill by scheduling for off-peak charging.

  • Tap into cleaner energy. Installing solar helps your home generate power during the daytime, and at night you are using more wind energy because that’s when wind at its highest production on the grid during the overnight hours. When you charge at night, you're using more renewable energy—reducing your carbon footprint even further.

  • Preheat without leaving your garage.

    Electric Cars don’t need to “start their engine” so when you switch to an electric vehicle you can start warming up your EV from your phone, or on a schedule.

  • Dramatically reduce your fuel budget.

    Ready to reduce your gas budget? You’ll find that you can cut your fuel costs by driving an EV. Charging at home is the most economical way to charge an EV, with home electricity rates at about half the cost of public charging rates, and you can increase those savings even more by installing solar!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR LEVEL 2 HOME CHARGING:

  • Dedicated Circuit

If you are having a new outlet installed, it is recommended you have a dedicated 240-volt , 40 amp or greater, electrical circuit. Our solar energy consultants can help you check to see if you have room in your breaker box with a free in-home consultation. If you have extra slots, you can simply add a circuit. In some cases, older homes that have a 100 amp panel will need to upgrade to 200 amp service. We can work with your electric provider help upgrade your main service panel and upgrade your electrical service to 200amp. The ITC solar tax rebate can help reduce this cost with a tax credit as well.

  • 240-volt Outlet

    Similar to one used for an appliance, you will need a 240-volt outlet: either a NEMA 14-50 or 6-50. The cost to install an outlet can be as low as $200. However, when you need to have circuits added and wiring run, the average is closer to $600. If you need a panel upgrade, add about $2,000. 

  • Level 2 Equipment

    Unless your EV comes with one, you will likely either need to buy a portable level 2 charging cord EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) or a fixed box that gets mounted on the wall. Wall boxes aren't very big and come in versions that can either just plug into a nearby 240-volt outlet or be hardwired to your house.  Portable level 2 cords cost about $200–$300 and wall boxes average $500–$700.
