Electric vehicles are gaining momentum in California, with numerous rebates and incentives available for installing EV charging stations. Property owners, employers, landlords, retailers, fleet managers, hotels, and other organizations can benefit from these programs.

Key Benefits of Installing EV Chargers:

• Significant cost offset through state rebates and grants
• Attraction of affluent, educated EV drivers as customers or tenants
• Additional revenue through charging station monetization
• Contributing to sustainable transportation infrastructure

California Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Project (CALeVIP) Incentives:

• Up to $7,500 per L2 port
• Additional $1,000 for Multi-Unit Dwellings (MUD)
• Up to $80,000 or 80% of total cost for DC Fast Chargers
• Multiple charging units eligible per location

Utility Company Incentives:

• Available from major electric utilities throughout California
• Can be combined with CALeVIP grants
• Varies by location and utility provider
• Contact your local utility for specific offerings

Important Considerations:

• Early adopters benefit most from current incentives
• Grants are time-sensitive and may not last indefinitely
• Installation helps expand charging infrastructure network
• Networked charging stations provide efficient operation and monitoring

Property owners should act quickly to take advantage of these substantial incentives while supporting California's transition to electric vehicles. These programs can significantly reduce or eliminate capital costs while providing long-term benefits for businesses and communities.
