DE Rebate Program

Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Rebates

AI summary · 7/12/2026

Delaware offers rebates covering up to 90% of Level 2 charging station costs for multi-family residential buildings (four or more units) in designated disadvantaged areas, with maximum rebates of $5,000 per single-port or $10,000 per dual-port charger, up to $75,000 per site. To apply, register as a supplier with the state, submit a pre-approval application, get approval within 10 business days, complete installation within one year, and submit invoices for reimbursement. Note that rebates for single-family homes are not available through this program; residents should check the Energize Delaware Residential Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Rebate Program instead.

You can help multi-family, workplace, fleet, and public-access customers access rebates of 75–90% for charging equipment and installation costs (75–85% installation reimbursement), with per-location caps of $5,000–$10,000 per charger and limits of ten charging ports or five dual-port stations. Eligible projects must have your customer register as a supplier with Delaware's eSupplier Portal, submit a pre-approval application that DNREC reviews within 10 business days, complete work within one year of approval, and submit final invoices and documentation to DNREC.Transportation@delaware.gov for reimbursement.

DNREC's Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Rebate Program allocates $2 million on a first-come, first-served basis for Level 2 chargers installed after May 1, 2026, across four eligible use categories: multi-family (up to 90% rebate in Priority Areas), public access, fleet, and workplace (commercial, government, and nonprofit with tiered reimbursement rates). Multi-family projects in EPA Environmental Justice Areas or Delaware DOT Equity Focus Areas qualify for enhanced incentives; applicants must pre-register as suppliers, obtain pre-approval within 10 business days, complete installation within one year, and submit documentation for final reimbursement. The program supports Delaware's climate action and transportation decarbonization goals.
