Public EV Charging Stations
Stowe Electric is offering a rebate for Level 2 or Level 3 DC Fast Charging (DCFC) EV charging stations that are installed at a workplace, public building or parking lot, or commercial location and available for customers, visitors, and public users.
Level 2 EV charging stations are eligible for a $250 rebate per charger for multifamily homes or $500 per charger for workplace or public chargers accessible to the public, employees, or visitors.
Level 3 DCFC stations are eligible for a $1,000 rebate per charger (maximum of $2,000 per year per customer) if the stations are available to public users and connected to a network with an operation and maintenance portal and/or fee-based portal. These stations can limit public charging to a defined time-period during normal business hours and after-hours.
If you are a commercial customer or property owner interested in offering publicly available chargers or networked chargers under Stowe Electric’s charging infrastructure turnkey partnership program, then please contact Stowe Electric for eligibility and additional incentives.
