NEVI EV Charging Rebates

How the program works

The DC fast charging program provides the necessary utility-side infrastructure to support the installation of DC fast charging EV charging infrastructure. The program also provides rebates for the customer-side infrastructure work, known as the Customer-Side Make-Ready Rebate, and purchase and installation of the charging equipment, known as the Charging Station Rebate.

SCE is generally responsible for designing and installing the supporting utility-side infrastructure, and the participant is generally responsible for the following:

Design, purchase, and installation of the customer-side of the meter infrastructure work.
Selection, purchase, and installation of the charging equipment.

The Customer-Side Make-Ready rebate is designed to offset a portion of the customer’s costs to install this infrastructure. SCE will determine the rebate amount after it completes an assessment of the site. SCE will present the applicant with the maximum rebate amount in the Program Participation Agreement, at which time the customer will determine if it wants to commit to participating in the program.

The image below illustrates the infrastructure work that SCE (shown in gold) and the participant (shown in green) will complete.

Key program requirements

All project sites must be located within SCE’s service area and be publicly accessible.
A site plan must be submitted along with the Enrollment Application
Qualifying non-residential entities must own, lease, manage, or be the customer of record for the site where the EV charging equipment (also referred to as Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment or EVSE) is to be installed. Applicants who do not own the property must obtain the property owner’s consent to install the equipment and grant any required easements and conveyances.
Applicants who have previously participated in another Charge Ready transportation electrification program offered by SCE are also eligible to participate in this program.
All charging equipment must be selected from SCE’s Approved Product List, such as ChargePoint’s CPE250.
Make-ready infrastructure must support at least 150 kW of equipment, regardless of any decision by the participant to install low-power DC fast charging units.

Federal tax credit

If you purchase charging stations between Jan. 1, 2023, and Dec. 31, 2032, your organization may be eligible to receive a 30% tax credit up to $100,000 per station under the 30C Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit. Commonly referred to as the "federal tax credit", the credit now requires applicants to be located in designated census tracts.

The Orange & Rockland Commercial Charger Ready Program

As an owner or manager of a multifamily property or business, you can save up to 90% of the make-ready costs to install Level 2 AC or DC fast charging stations for your tenants, customers, employees or your own fleet of light-duty vehicles. 

Level 2 AC charging ports may qualify for $4,400 per port of utility-side costs and $9,200 per port of customer-side costs 
DC fast charging stations may qualify for $2,000 per port of utility-side costs and $81,000 per port for customer-side costs
