SMUD - Commercial Electric Vehicle Incentive Program

SMUD's Commercial EV Incentive Program offers rebates for installing EV chargers at your business location, with higher incentives available if your site qualifies as an equity site (CalEnviroScreen 4.0 percentile of 75+). Rebates range from $2,500 for basic Level 2 chargers to $60,000 for high-power DC fast charging at equity sites, plus support for electrical upgrades like panel and transformer work. To apply, submit an EV interest form or contact CommercialEV@smud.org for more details and to get started.

SMUD incentivizes commercial customers to install Level 2 and DC fast charging equipment, with non-equity rebates ranging from $2,500 (low-power Level 2) to $30,000 (high-power DCFC ≥150 kW), and double those amounts at equity sites; the program also covers ancillary costs like stub-outs, panel upgrades, and transformer upgrades. Contractors should refer to the Commercial EV program manual for all requirements and procedures, and can join the SMUD Contractor Network for direct engagement with program administration and customer referrals.

The program provides tiered rebates for EV charging infrastructure (Level 2 and DCFC equipment) with enhanced incentives at equity sites (CalEnviroScreen 4.0 percentile ≥75), covering equipment, electrical upgrades, and battery storage integration. SMUD targets commercial customers including fleet operators, property managers, and multifamily properties with 5+ units; program administration occurs through interest forms and direct contact via CommercialEV@smud.org, with detailed requirements in the Commercial EV program manual.
