PECO - Commercial Charger Rebate Program
This program does not apply to homeowners—it provides rebates only for commercial-sector electric vehicle charging infrastructure (Level 2 chargers and related make-ready equipment). Residential customers should contact PECO about alternative EV incentives.
You can help commercial clients reduce charging infrastructure costs: the Base Rebate covers 50% of make-ready costs up to $2,000, the Enhanced Rebate (in Environmental Justice Areas) covers 75% up to $3,000, and the Public Benefit Program (launched October 2023) covers 50% of equipment, installation, and make-ready costs up to $60,000 per site (or $500,000 for transit authorities installing DCFCs ≥250 kW). Applications began April 1, 2022.
PECO administers two rebate tracks for commercial EV charging: an initial pilot (Base/Enhanced Rebates on Level 2 make-ready, capped at $2,000–$3,000) and the Public Benefit Program (launched October 2023, covering broader technologies at 50% cost-share, capped at $60,000 or $500,000 for transit). The Enhanced Rebate targets Environmental Justice Areas. Funding and eligibility details beyond those stated are not specified in available records.
