RPU: Level 2 EV Charger Rebate
Save money on your home upgrade costs with a rebate from Riverside Public Utilities for an energy-efficient electric vehicle charger.
Rebate Overview
Overview
Riverside Public Utilities offers a rebate for homeowners who install a Level 2 (240-Volt AC) electric vehicle charger at their residence. This rebate can help you save up to $1,500 on the cost of the charger and installation. To qualify, the charger must be a new, wall-mounted unit installed at your residence. An electrical permit from the City of Riverside’s Building and Safety Division is required for the installation of a hard-wired EV charger or new/modified 240V power socket. Applications must be submitted within 180 days of completed installation. The incentive offer is on a first-come, first-served basis and is effective until funding is expended or the program is discontinued.
