Earn An Incentive Under ComEd's EV Charger Rebate Program!

UPDATE: As of March 31st  2026, these programs are currently not accepting any more applications this year.

As Illinois’ largest electric utility, Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) powers 70% of the state!

If you’re among the four million utility customers who reside in ComEd’s service area, you have the opportunity to receive significant savings on upgrading your home by installing an electric vehicle (EV) charger.

Are you considering going electric? Here’s all you need to know about the ComEd EV charger rebate.

Understanding the ComEd EV Charger Rebate

ComEd currently offers two electrification rebates designed to make EV charging more accessible and affordable and help you save on a Level 2 EV charger.

Here’s a closer look at both of these rebate programs:

ComEd’s Income-Based EV Charger Rebate Program

Low Income/Equity Investment Eligible Community (LI/EIEC) EV Charger Rebate

Through the Low Income/Equity Investment Eligible Community (LI/EIEC rebate) ComEd EV rebate program, eligible customers can receive a rebate of up to $2,500 for the purchase and installation of a Level 2 EV charger.

There are two ways to qualify:

Income-based eligibility: Customers with households earning 80% or less of the state’s median income qualify. For a single-income household, this threshold is currently $57,650, while for a two-person household, it’s $65,850. (Income limits are higher for larger households—check the latest income requirements here).

Location-based eligibility: Residents of an Equity Investment Eligible Community, or EIEC (as defined by ComEd), can also take advantage of the full rebate. You can check your eligibility using ComEd’s designated map.

ComEd’s Universal EV Charger Rebate

If you don’t meet income or location requirements, you can still access ComEd’s standard EV charger rebate of up to $1,000 on a qualifying Level 2 charger.

Additional Key Requirements & Installation Considerations

Both rebates are intended to cover the costs, either in part or in full, associated with purchasing and installing a qualifying Level 2 EV charger. This includes the cost of the charger itself in addition to hiring a qualified EV charger installer to provide labor, and any required parts or components such as conduits, cables, fasteners, and—if necessary—even a new electrical panel.

It’s important to note that not every electrician or electrical contractor is able to install your EV charger and not every charger is eligible for these rebates.

In order to qualify for the rebate:

• Your charger must be Energy Star certified and NRTL-listed.
• The charger can be a plug-in or hardwired charger but must be a smart charger.
• Installation must be performed by a ComEd‑approved EV Service Provider (EVSP)
• You must enroll in ComEd’s Hourly Pricing (Rate BESH – Basic Electric Service Hourly Pricing) rate plan for a minimum of 3 years.

ComEd EV Charging Rates

As stated above, to maximize savings and qualify for ComEd’s EV charger rebates, you must choose their hourly rate plan.

ComEd’s Hourly Pricing Rate

This optional program is available to all ComEd customers and, according to ComEd, helps you save money by shifting your energy use away from peak times.

Through this plan, ComEd adjusts kWh pricing based on real-time demand, with prices fluctuating based on five-minute periods but usually remaining stable outside of peak hours.

Charging during off-peak hours—such as overnight—can lead to substantial savings, with some periods even offering negative pricing, where customers receive bill credits for energy use.

You can see the current pricing here. For tech-savvy users, ComEd offers automation with tools like IFTTT so you can manage your energy usage automatically based on real-time pricing.

Does ComEd Offer EV Charger Rebates for Businesses?

While ComEd currently doesn’t offer any commercial EV charger rebates, small businesses may still qualify for a free energy assessment and receive customized incentives covering up to 20% of an energy efficiency project, with a cap of $20,000.
