Commercial EV Charging Station Rebate AnnouncementThe Commercial Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Station Rebate program is closed for the Level 2 and direct current fast charger (DCFC) light-duty segments. We appreciate your interest and participation. Please check back soon for updated program requirements and details for the next open enrollment. Enrollment for charging stations to fuel medium- and heavy-duty EVs remains open. Thank you for your engagement in advancing sustainable transportation solutions with us. Updated 1/14/2025 |
About The Program
The Commercial EV Charging Station Rebate Program offers rebates to help offset the cost of installing commercial charging equipment, including:
- Level 2 charging station rebates to charge light-duty EVs of up to $5,000 per charging station if deployed in a Disadvantaged Community.
- Direct current fast chargers (DCFCs) rebates to charge light-duty EVs of up to $100,000 per charging station depending on power output.
- Charging station rebates to charge medium- and heavy-duty EVs of up to $125,000 per charging station depending on power output.
They must be permanently installed by a licensed electrical contractor and hardwired to the building premises (either wall-, pole- or pedestal-mounted) for a minimum in-service period of five years. See below for program requirements and charger details and refer to the Terms and Conditions for more information.
The program offers two paths to apply. A rebate reservation is available to set aside funding for your rebate prior to the deployment of the charging stations as long as you meet the program’s requirements. Alternatively, customers may apply to the program after completing deployment. LADWP approval of your commercial EV charging plans is required before the deployment of any charging stations.
For up-to-date information on the Commercial EV Charging Station Rebate Program, including funding availability and application processing, consult the Funding Dashboard.
Before Applying
New chargers increase the electric demand of your site on the grid. LADWP needs to ensure that the utility infrastructure serving your site is adequately sized to avoid any service issues before the chargers are installed. When you submit your completed Customer Submittal Package, LADWP will evaluate the impact of the future EV charging load on the existing utility infrastructure and determine if any upgrades are needed to serve the new chargers. The option to submit a Customer Submittal Package to LADWP’s EV Service Design Group is available year-round. For questions about the engineering approval process, please visit our Charger Installation page or contact [email protected].
Before Applying: Level 2 Charging Stations
| Plans must be submitted before applying for Level 2 Charging Stations and you must receive an email from LADWP's EV Service Design Group confirming that the Customer Submittal Package is complete. |
Before Applying: DCFCs and/or charging stations for MDHD EVs
| Plans must be submitted before applying for DCFCs or chargers for MDHD EVs and you must receive an email from LADWP's EV Service Design Group confirming that the Customer Submittal Package is complete or that a Feasibility Study has been paid for. |
