Electric vehicle charging programs and rebates
Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly common and gaining in popularity. With major vehicle manufacturers planning to go fully electric by 2035 - 2040, you may be considering an EV.
If you are bringing home a new EV, you’ll need a charging station for it! WH recommends consulting with a licensed electrician prior to installing your new charging station. WH offers three Energy-Saving Programs for EV charging that will help keep your charging costs low!
A Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) rebate of up to $500 is available toward the purchase or installation of a new hardwired, 240-volt, Level 2 wall-mount charging station. An additional, separate meter needs to be installed to participate in WH's Energy-Saving Programs.
Please note that once you have chosen a charging program, you may not be able to switch to a different program, as different metering equipment is required for each program.
The EV must be a battery electric vehicle (BEV), and have a minimum of 4.5kW charger rating in order to qualify.
ADDITIONAL REBATE INFORMATION:
Enrollment in an electric vehicle charging program is required to receive a rebate. Rebates are only available on new installations.
Conservation Improvement Program (CIP) rebates are applied as a bill credit on the member’s WH electric account once the final inspection is completed. Rebates are paid on a first-come, first-served basis. Terms and conditions are subject to change.
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) do not qualify for rebates. Please allow six to eight weeks for rebate processing after installation.
