Burlington Electric Department - Residential EV Charging Station Rebate Program

Burlington Electric Department offers rebates up to $900 for single-family homeowners who purchase a ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 EV charger ($900 for all-electric vehicles, $700 for plug-in hybrids, or $1,000 if income-qualified), with the rebate capped at 75% of installed cost. To qualify, your vehicle must be registered in Burlington, Vermont, and you must enroll in the utility's special Residential EV Rate after installation—which also provides up to 45% savings on charging costs between 10pm and noon. Apply by gathering your BED account number and receipts for the charger and installation, with the charger purchased no later than 90 days after your EV purchase; the offer is valid through December 31, 2026.

Contractors installing EV chargers for the Burlington Electric Department rebate program must secure all necessary permits from Burlington's Permitting and Inspections Department before installation. The utility only rebates ChargePoint Home Flex chargers for residential customers and caps rebates at 75% of installed cost; BED reserves the right to inspect installations and verify purchases, and may modify the program terms without notice.

Burlington Electric Department administers three residential EV charger rebate tracks through December 31, 2026: single-family homes ($900/$700/$1,000 based on vehicle type and income), multi-family properties ($1,000 base with $500 bonuses for low-to-moderate income units or public availability), and workplaces (Level 2 at $2,500–$4,000 per port, Level 3 up to $15,000), all capped at 75% of installed cost and limited to BED customers. Rebates process only after charger enrollment in the EV Rate program; applicants with total BED rebates exceeding $600 per calendar year must submit W-9 forms, and applications must be submitted within 90 days of installation with receipts and permit documentation.
