ComEd pays up to $2,500 toward a Level 2 charger and install for income qualified homes, and up to $750 for everyone else. The 2026 money is gone. The next window opens January 1, 2027, and installs done now can be ready for it.
30 seconds. We text you back the same day with what to film, then your estimate.
ComEd's EV Charger and Installation Rebate Program runs through 2028 and pays residential customers back for a Level 2 charger and the work to install it, including the circuit, conduit, labor, and even a panel upgrade. The amount depends on your household. Income qualified customers, and homes in a low income or equity investment eligible community, can get up to $2,500. Everyone else gets the base rebate, which ComEd lists at up to $750 for 2027 applications.
The 2026 funds ran out early. ComEd stopped taking base rebate applications in February 2026 and income qualified applications on March 31, 2026, and there is no waitlist. Applications reopen January 1, 2027. The program pays in the order complete applications arrive, so the start of the year is when the money goes.
Three rules trip people up. The charger must be a smart, ENERGY STAR certified unit bought after February 1, 2024, and Enel X and JuiceBox chargers no longer qualify. Your ComEd account has to be on an eligible time of use rate for three years. And the install and the application both have to come from a contractor in ComEd's EV Service Provider network. A self install or an install by an outside electrician gets nothing.
You need a residential ComEd account at the address where the charger goes. Owners and tenants both qualify, tenants with the landlord's permission. Every town we serve is ComEd territory except Naperville. The rebate is one per customer for life, so if you already got one at a previous house you are not eligible again.
For the $2,500 level your household's adjusted gross income for the prior year has to be at or below 80 percent of the Illinois median, or your home has to sit in a low income community on the Illinois Solar for All map or an equity investment eligible community. You only need to meet one of those. We check the map for your address before you commit.
The charger, the labor, wire, conduit, breaker, fasteners, and a new electrical panel if the install needs one. The rebate cannot exceed what the job actually cost. Adapters, splitters, and cord sets do not count. If your car maker gave you the charger for free, only the installation cost is eligible.
The rebate comes off your invoice. ComEd requires the installer to deduct the anticipated rebate on the final bill, and ComEd then reimburses the installer. So you pay the net price on install day rather than waiting on a check.
To get the rebate your ComEd account must be enrolled in Hourly Pricing, the new Delivery Time of Day rate, or a time variant supply rate from an alternative supplier, and stay on it for three years from the date the application is approved. Hourly pricing is usually cheaper for an EV owner who charges overnight, and it is the reason the program exists.
You do not have to be on the rate before we install, but the enrollment confirmation has to be in the application. Switching rates can take a billing cycle, so we tell you to start it the day you book.
ComEd wants a paid in full invoice showing the rebate deduction, a photo of the charger's serial number, a photo of the installed charger, a stepped back photo from five to ten feet showing the charger and the nearest outside wall, the charger's spec sheet, proof of your rate enrollment, and a Rebate Authorization Form you sign by hand or on a tablet. The application has to be submitted within 90 days of the install.
We take every photo before we leave, format the invoice the way the program requires, bring the authorization form, and submit the application. Allow up to eight weeks after submission for ComEd to process it.
Up to $2,500 for income qualified households and homes in low income or equity eligible communities. Up to $750 for everyone else on 2027 applications. The rebate cannot exceed the actual cost of the charger and installation, and each customer can only get it once.
No. ComEd stopped accepting base rebate applications in February 2026 and income qualified applications on March 31, 2026, with no waitlist. Applications reopen January 1, 2027. We can install now and have your packet ready to submit the day the window opens, as long as the 90 day submission limit is respected.
Both. The charger and the full installation, including the circuit, permit, labor, conduit, and a panel upgrade if the job needs one. Self installed chargers and chargers installed by a contractor outside ComEd's EV Service Provider network are not eligible.
You have to be on one of three eligible rates for three years: ComEd Hourly Pricing, ComEd Delivery Time of Day, or a time variant rate from an alternative supplier. For most EV owners who charge overnight, hourly pricing lowers the bill. If you are on net metering with solar, ask us first, because a rate change can affect your credits.
Smart, ENERGY STAR certified, NRTL listed Level 2 chargers bought on or after February 1, 2024. The Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint Home Flex, Emporia, Wallbox and Grizzl-E Smart qualify. Enel X and JuiceBox chargers are no longer considered smart by the program and do not qualify. Plain NEMA 14-50 outlets with a non smart charger do not qualify.
No. Naperville has its own municipal electric utility, so ComEd programs do not apply. Naperville has offered its own EV programs in the past. We check what is currently available when you contact us.
