EV Make-Ready Wiring Rebate

United Power is pleased to offer a program to EV drivers to help lower the cost of faster at-home EV charging. The EV Make-Ready Wiring rebate helps to offset the cost of the electrical wiring associated with the installation of a Level 2 EV charger.

Members interested in installing a home charger can take advantage of United EV, a program offering a ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 charger for a flat monthly fee. Additional EV Make-Ready Wiring rebate dollars are available to participants in the United EV program.

If you install an EV charger for your electric car in your home, you may want to take advantage of the federal tax credit. The Federal 30C Tax Credit was renewed as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022. It provides a valuable incentive for installing EV charging-related hardware.

The federal tax credit covers 30% of an EV charging station, necessary equipment and installation costs. For residential installations, the IRS caps the tax credit at $1,000.
