• An Energy Star Certified Level 2 EV Charger
• A home Tesla charger
• A Ford Charge Station Pro. 

You can work with any of our registered contractors to install this equipment.

You can also rent an EV charger from Xcel Energy. You can use this rebate to cover installation and wiring costs. To do this, sign up for the EV Accelerate at Home program.

V2B or Bidirectional Charging Rebates 

Several “Vehicle 2 Home” or “bidirectional” chargers came to the market in 2023. They allow 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.
