ComEd EV Charger Rebate: How Much & How to Apply
Last reviewed: 2026-09-22. Rebate programs like this one change funding levels and eligibility often -- confirm current status on ComEd's official site before assuming any figure below still applies.
Quick answer: ComEd's Residential Electric Vehicle Charging Program offers a rebate toward installing a Level 2 home charger -- up to $1,000 for standard-tier customers, or up to $2,500 for income-qualified customers in one of ComEd's Equity Investment Eligible Communities (EIEC). You don't apply directly: a ComEd-approved EV Service Provider (EVSP) handles the installation and files the rebate application for you. Funds are limited and first-come-first-served -- this program has fully exhausted its budget mid-year in prior cycles, so treat availability as time-sensitive, not guaranteed.
What the Rebate Covers
| Tier | Rebate amount | Who qualifies |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Up to $1,000 | Residential ComEd customers installing a qualifying Level 2 charger |
| Income-qualified / EIEC | Up to $2,500 | Residential customers in a ComEd-designated Equity Investment Eligible Community |
The rebate applies toward the cost of the charger and its installation. Because the program routes through an approved EVSP rather than a direct customer application, the EVSP typically builds the rebate into your quoted price up front rather than having you pay full price and wait for reimbursement -- confirm this with your chosen EVSP.
How to Apply
1. Choose a ComEd-approved EV Service Provider. ComEd maintains a list of approved EVSPs on its official program page -- the rebate is only available through one of these.
2. The EVSP handles the application. Unlike a mail-in rebate, ComEd's program has the installer file the paperwork as part of the installation process.
3. Confirm your tier before committing. If you believe you qualify for the EIEC income-qualified tier, verify your address against ComEd's current EIEC map before assuming the higher rebate amount applies.
Why "First-Come-First-Served" Matters Here
This is not a standing, always-available rebate. ComEd allocates a fixed budget to this program -- ComEd has announced a $70 million EV rebate pool for the region, but that pool covers all ComEd EV rebate categories, not just home chargers, and in prior program cycles the funds have been fully claimed before the year ended. If you're planning an installation and want to capture this rebate, don't wait -- check current fund availability on ComEd's site before scheduling your install, and don't assume the rebate will still have money left by the time you're ready to apply.
Stacking With Other Incentives
The ComEd rebate is a utility-level program, separate from the federal 30C Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit. In most cases these can stack -- see our EV charger tax credit guide for the federal credit's eligibility rules and how utility rebates interact with your cost basis for that credit.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the ComEd EV charger rebate?
Up to $1,000 for standard residential customers, or up to $2,500 for income-qualified customers in a ComEd Equity Investment Eligible Community (EIEC). Confirm current amounts on ComEd's official program page, since funding levels can change.
Do I apply for the ComEd rebate myself?
No. You must use a ComEd-approved EV Service Provider (EVSP), who installs the charger and files the rebate application for you. There isn't a separate customer-facing application process outside of working with an approved EVSP.
Is the ComEd EV charger rebate guaranteed to be available?
No. It's a first-come-first-served program with a limited annual budget, and it has run out of funds mid-year in prior cycles. Check current fund availability before planning around this rebate.
Can I combine the ComEd rebate with the federal tax credit?
In most cases, yes -- utility rebates and the federal 30C credit are separate programs that can often stack, though the utility rebate typically reduces your cost basis for the federal credit calculation. See our EV charger tax credit guide for details.
