Electric Vehicle Home Wiring Rebates 

Charging an electric vehicle (EV) with a Level 1 charging cable can take a long time. EV owners interested in charging faster can consider installing a Level 2 charger at their home. The EV Charging Home Wiring Rebate provides up to $200 to assist with installing either an Energy Star Certified Level 2 EV Charger, a home Tesla charger, or a Ford Charge Station Pro. 

You can work with any of our registered contractors to install this equipment. If you are interested in renting an EV charger from Xcel and using our rebate to cover installation and wiring costs, you can sign up to participate in Xcel’s EV Accelerate at Home program.

V2B or Bidirectional Charging Rebates 

Several “Vehicle 2 Home” or “bidirectional” chargers are coming onto the market in 2023, allowing fully-charged EVs to discharge their battery and return power to a home when needed. Bidirectional chargers open up the potential for:  

  • Plugged-in EVs provide power back to the electrical grid at peak times to help keep up with electrical demand. This avoids bringing extra fossil fuel generating stations online.
  • Extra power for the home during a power outage (helpful to keep a fridge or essential medical equipment running)  

If you’re interested in being a trailblazer, you can apply for up to $2,000 to cover installation costs. You can work with any of our registered contractors to install this equipment.
