Residential and commercial properties generally do not receive the same incentives for Level 2 EV chargers; the incentives differ in amount and eligibility depending on the property type and utility program.
- Residential incentives typically involve rebates or credits for home installation of Level 2 chargers, often smaller amounts. For example, the Kissimmee Utility Authority in Florida offers a $100 rebate for purchasing and installing a Level 2 charger at home. Another example is a residential rebate of up to $800 for Level 2 chargers installed at home, as provided by some programs.
- Commercial incentives are usually larger and aimed at workplaces, multi-unit dwellings, and business properties. Duke Energy offers up to $500 rebates to commercial customers for installing Level 2 charging stations at workplaces and multi-unit dwellings. Florida programs provide commercial rebates ranging from around $304 to $1,175 for Level 2 chargers. Additionally, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power offers rebates up to $5,000 per Level 2 charging station for commercial installations meeting specific requirements, including conditions on parking spaces and equipment certification.
In summary, while both residential and commercial properties can receive incentives for Level 2 chargers, commercial properties generally qualify for higher rebate amounts and have different eligibility requirements. Residential incentives tend to be smaller and focused on single-unit home installations, whereas commercial incentives support larger-scale, multi-unit, or workplace charging deployments.
