Otter Tail Power - EVSE Rebate Program

Get a $500 rebate when you install a Level 2 EV charger and sign up for one of Otter Tail Power's off-peak rates (Dual Fuel, Deferred Load, Fixed Time of Delivery, RDC, or Minnesota Electric Vehicle Charging Rate). You'll also receive monthly bill credits of $9–$13 through programs like EV antage, which controls charging during peak hours to reduce costs without requiring a separate meter. Submit the EV charging station rebate application to Otter Tail Power's Fergus Falls office with proof of Minnesota vehicle registration and confirmation of your licensed electrician's installation.

Otter Tail Power's rebate program incentivizes residential customers to install Level 2 charging equipment, expanding your customer base and project opportunities. You must ensure the charger connects to a dedicated 240V circuit, install a disconnect and relay tied to the utility's radio receiver (provided free by Otter Tail), and verify the customer's EV is registered in Minnesota before submitting the rebate application. Installation costs vary by home structure but typically run around $1,000 for wiring.

This rebate program allocates $500 per residential customer installing Level 2 EVSE on qualified off-peak rates (Dual Fuel, Deferred Load, Fixed Time of Delivery, RDC, or Minnesota EV Charging Rate). The program targets Minnesota EV owners and integrates with demand-management capabilities—the utility controls charging during peak periods (typically under 3 hours) via a radio receiver to manage grid load. Rebate applications are processed through the Fergus Falls office; participants must provide vehicle registration proof and contractor confirmation of proper relay and disconnect installation.
