EV Charger Rebates
Claim a rebate from TEP of up to $500 on EV chargers.
TEP residential customers who purchase a Level 2 electric vehicle charger can claim a rebate of up to $500, depending on the output amperage of the charger:
- $200 for less than 30 amps
- $300 for 30 to 49 amps
- $500 for 50 or more amps
The rebate will be issued as a credit on the customer's TEP account. A maximum of two incentives are allowed per premise for each charger purchased for home use with a highway-approved battery electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.
To qualify for the TEP rebate, residents must:
- Purchase a new Level 2 or higher EVC in this calendar year. Tesla Mobile Connector, Rivian Portable Charger, WebGo Dual Volt, and other mobile, portable, and dual volt chargers are not eligible. Rebates are not offered on used, resold or refurbished chargers.
- Provide a valid proof of purchase, including the charger's model number, from a local retailer, the TEP Marketplace* or an online retailer (not to include eBay or other resale sites) that ships the item to the customer’s service address in TEP’s territory.
- Be on an active Time-of-Use (TOU) rate plan and remain on the plan for a minimum of two years.
- The charger must be installed at the customer’s TEP service address.
*If the instant rebate was not received at checkout on TEP’s Marketplace, you can submit to receive through this application process for an account credit.
NOTE: Net-metering customers are excluded from being required to use a TOU plan if they purchase a networked charger. Net metering customers with a non-networked charger must use a TOU plan. A networked charger allows the utility (or a third party) to connect to the charger to manage charging and collect charging data to assist with grid optimization.
Customers agree to allow a TEP representative to enter their home to verify a qualified charger has been installed that meets program requirements.
Rebates apply to chargers installed during the current calendar year of Jan. 1 through Dec. 31. Incentives are subject to the availability of funding. This program is subject to change or expire without notice. Full rebate details are available on the Electric Vehicle Charger Program Application Form.

Over the next three years, TEP will provide over 300 rebates to offset the cost of electric bike purchases for customers. All customers are eligible for $100 off the purchase of a qualifying electric bike. Low- to moderate-income customers are eligible for a $600 rebate.

- Most often used at home.
- Typically used to charge their vehicles at home overnight.
Level 2
- Electric vehicles can be charged with a 240V plug, typically used in homes.
- 10-60 miles of range for each hour of charging.
- These units can fully charge an electric car battery in as little as 2 hours, making them a good choice for both homeowners and businesses.
- Overall home charging satisfaction is highest among EV owners who install a Level 2 permanently mounted charging station.
Level 3
- Direct-current (DC) fast-charging equipment typically found along corridors with heavy traffic and other public locations.
- DC rapid chargers use a 480V connection to provide 60-100 miles of range for each 20-minute charge.
- These chargers require highly specialized equipment to install and maintain and typically are only used in commercial and industrial applications.
Note: Before purchasing an EV charger for your home, you may need to consult an electrical contractor to determine if your home's electrical system needs any modifications. The type of charging system you should install will depend on the type of vehicle you choose. Installation of higher-voltage systems may require permitting and upgrades to your home's electrical facilities.
